Sergio and I descended the West Ridge (down is away from the camera here; Sergio is just posing for me). Exposure is only high for about 50 feet where the West Ridge comes up against the summit's NW buttress. The rest is class 3 to the rappel anchors, of which there are three single-rope raps. Corteo Peak and Black Peak are in the distance; Porcupine Creek is down on the right. Photo taken Sept. 6, 2003.
