Mt. Garfield West Peak

[mvs]

Hi folks,Has anyone been up there? It doesn't seem quite as difficult as the main peak (Beckey calls it a "taxing workout", which is better than a hazardous enigma any day). But it sports a south face route that ascends clean slabs, this sounds pretty interesting. It was first climbed in February!

Thanks all,--Michael

Michael- I was up there this weekend, but not close enough to give any beta on the route. Check Phil Fortier's site- I know he did the main peak last year and he might be able to provide additional beta.

Thank you Fred. Phil has a great report about the Main Peak, but was as curious as I am about the West Peak(s). Or it may be a clever feignt...
