North Arete

Gain the ridge somewhere on its east side.  There are numerous choices, pick your poison---you can gain the ridge higher up, but this will require climbing firm snow in the late season.  Pass the most prominent tower on its left side to gain a notch in the ridge.  From here, work up and left (crux), gaining the summit ridge where the angle eases off a bit.  Weave your way in and out of some smaller towers, passing the main difficulties on the left side.

This is the right skyline of Banner Peak when viewed from Thousand Island Lake.

Standard Ritter Range shattered volcanic rock, watch out for the loose stuff.
