Route to Notch

The awful-looking steep talus slope just right of upper center is as bad as it looks and is the way to the notch that accesses the NE ridge route. Notice the rock rib higher up. This goes at Class 3/4 but is a welcome relief from the talus if you're okay with the moves and the moderate exposure. The rock is pretty good by Absaroka standards.
