First solo climb. As with all 14'ers it was a challenge but not nearly as difficult as Williamson across the way. 4:45 hours up to Anvil, slept, 5 to top (was moving slow on the North Rib)6 hours down.

North Rib Route
Great route on solid rock all the way up the North Rib. I would highly recommend it vs. the Northwest Ridge.

N Ridge
Great climb up on the N rib, the descent on the NW ridge sure was more tedious.

Twofer
North rib, struggled a bit at the top to find a way through the final 30' of rock to the summit ridge, rewarding climb though.
Great 4 day solo trip covering Will, Barnard, Trojan, and Tyndall. Camped in Williamson Bowl all three nights to avoid strong wind at the pass. Met a lot of nice folks... Climbed Tyndall the last day and hiked all the way out in the afternoon.
Left Anvil at 4:15, summit at 8:45. Started on nw rib but moves got too sketchy higher up. Dropped into nw gully. Still some moves required to get around notch. Not class 2. I'd think the east rib (?) on that face is easier and faster.

Long approach
Took a chance on the weather and was rewarded with a outstanding weekend of climbing. 2 more 14er's and 2 new climbing partners. Thanks SJ and souloscrambler for a great trip!

North rip
Left from Anvil camp at 4am, summited at 10am. North rib was easy class 3 until it joined up with the ridge (fairly snowy at this section)... one or two class 4 moves were involved at this point.. i'm assuming this was either because of snow or because I didn't take correct route.

N. Rib
Felt like a middle of the winter climb,snowing and whiteout conditions.
The rib is fun easy cl.3
Cool mountain, cool route, won't be doing the Shepard's pass trail again anytime soon.

Winter climb and ski descent
Approach on skis, winter climb up the North Rib and ski descent down the north face. Great trip with Doug Robinson.

Enjoyable with a great view
After climbing Williamson two years ago, I thought this was going to be a snap. Somewhat more difficult than I expected. With me was my wife, and a friend from church's 17 year old Eagle Scout to bag his first 14er. Good job Eileen and Ryan!

While crossing Shepherd PassUp the NW ridge; descended the North Rib. Couldn't resist ringing my ice ax on the top-most rock a-la Clarence King. :-)

North RibLots of snow at Shepherd Pass. The N. Rib was free for easy scaling up to summit for the 5th time. Little below 3hrs from Anvil.
