7/17/2024 Route: 13308/13179/13166 from West Willow Creek Posted On: 7/18/2024, By: JasonKline Info: The 13308/13179/13166/San Luis loop from West Willow Creek Trailhead is in full summer conditions with no snow/ice. For much of the route from 13308 to 13179 and from 13179 to 13166, we dipped a bit to the southeast/climber's right to avoid the ridge difficulties. It definitely involved some loose not-so-much-fun, but it was probably much better than staying on the ridge. |

9/1/2019 Route: Northeast Slopes Posted On: 9/3/2019, By: supranihilest Info: I attempted to traverse to Point 13,180 C from Point 13,300 and found the rock too dangerously loose for my liking. I took a gully down off Point 13,300's northwest ridge into the basin, crossed west across grass and boulders, and ascended a steep, loose bit of dirt/scree/talus to a saddle east of Point 13,180 C, then backtracked up the Class 1/2 northeast slopes of Point 13,180 C. If traversing along the ridge to Point 13,300 and Point 13,155 be aware the rock on the ridge is exceptionally, dangerously loose. |
