Stuart North Ridge 7-22 epic?

[Jerm]

As I attempted to sleep at the bug infested notch, I watched three headlamps high on the North Ridge in the wee hours (maybe 1-2 AM?). At first it looked like you guys were trying to descend the Northwest Face, then finally went up? We saw you ~8:30 a few pitches above the notch (must've just missed you, we were coming up the lower ridge) and then I flashed my camera at you a few times later that night. Just wondering what happened, problems rapping below the Gendarme in the dark? It looked like one of your headlamps was failing.

For what it's worth when I reached the bottom of Cascadian Sunday afternoon, there was a party of four who had topped out at 8:00 a.m. that morning after having done the north ridge.
