Lazy morning and a late start, so I had the route to myself. Short approach, excellent granite, and a fun exposed ridge traverse - 5 stars in my book.
Secor's description was fairly easy to follow. Look for the cracks before the trail switches back southish toward the headwall with the waterfall.

Emerson SE Face
Very nice climb. Great exposure on the ridge. A few short pitches of 5.4 or so climbing.

Route Descended
Interesting climb - I wish I could have done the SE Face/Ridge w/ Bob and Glenn, but the water was too much for me. The SE chute was nice at the bottom, filled with a lot of bouldering moves, but the top 2/3 was a slog w/ a lot of branching dead ends.
I discovered the hard way that you can't just walk down the SW slopes, even though it looked doable on the topo!
