Blue and Green Route

Our route is mostly the blue line. However, we will swing back to follow the green line which tends to have a gentler incline. I found this photo at https://www.timberlinetrails.com/RitterTheClimb.html

SE Glacier Route on Ritter

This is the route as seen from Whitebark Pass, just north of Nydiver Lakes.

SE Glacier on Mt Ritter

This is the southeast glacier on Mount Ritter. If you look closely you can see two people traversing the glacier. Later, I noticed ski tracks on the glacier, most likely from these two.

The route to Ritter

You can see most of the route in this shot from Ediza Lake. The last part goes behind the rock face.
