Very awesome! What route did you guys use in your descent? The same route you used in your climb up? A friend and I are seriously considering making this climb in early July or late June. Thanks

@JedidiahWhite We went up from the Old Glenn Highway, directly up the middle gully. It puts you out on the ridge maybe 30 yards W of the summit. ...

@Ak99654 ... At the summit, you should rappel down into the col then climb to the E summit. You can walk off from there, down to the wide gravel saddle. Walk down that big gully to the highway. ...

@Ak99654 ... however, the E summit was covered in wet snow so we opted to walk out the summer trail. It was going to be an extra 13 miles or something but someone picked us up on the road at 4 AM.

Circle Takes the Square and I forget the 2nd song. Maybe it's Do Make Say Think.
