From Cleaver ColNice sidetrip during a hike up Russell. Definitely recommend an approach from Cleaver Col rather than Russell/Carillon saddle.

What Fun!!!After coming out above the Carillon-Russell saddle (Rockwell Var.) I decided to do Russell first. This was fun too!!!

saddle2007 Sierra Challenge bonus peak on the way to Russell. It was very windy but unfortunately the eponymous bell-tower music failed to materialize. x2 April 23, 2011 as a snow climb in a mild snowstorm.

from saddleA quick trip up from the saddle before climbing Russell's east ridge. I don't regret it.

From saddleWhy not? If you are there for Russell you should stop by for a really good view of the East Ridge
