This is my favourite area to climb in. From any of these peaks, you can sit at the summit and
stare at glaciers all day. Most of my ascents in this area involve a 2 hour relaxation time at
the summit. The views from these peaks are just awesome. The only disadvantage to this area is that
it doesn't usually come into season until Late July. If there is a cold wet spring, like 1999, it
may never come into season. On July 04, 1999, this area received over two feet of snow in one day.
