MapNorthwest Glacier to Southeast Ridge
Description
Easy snow to gain the Banner/Ritter saddle. The crux is getting on the snow chute.
From North Glacier Pass, work your way around Lake Catherine to gain the snow chute.
1000 feet of fun. Once at the saddle, class 2, 3 rock leads to the summit.
Location
Obvious from Catherine Lake. Rush Creek > Thousand Island Lake > North Glacier Pass is a feasible approach from the East. Or (longer) from Agnew Meadows.
Protection
Ice axe, crampons. Most will solo. Could use pickets.
