This photo, taken to the left of the ridge on Mt. Eolus, gives some idea of the loose, scrambly terrain on this route and its grassy ledges.
Here are some goats. They're everywhere, but mostly stay on the Eolus side of the Basin.

A refreshing, albeit frigid, swim at Twin Lakes.
Here are some goats. They're everywhere, but mostly stay on the Eolus side of the Basin.
Chicago Basin ~ San Juan Mountains, CO
In the upper basin below Sunlight Peak, approaching the gully or "red couloir."
A view from above.
Alpenglow strikes the Eolus group in the early morning.
Be careful on the loose, rocky terrain on Windom Peak's alternate route, the connector with Sunlight Peak.
