Route beta: This is what the sandy walkway looks like from my off-route position on Whorl Mountain. The walkway is located above the
chockstone on the west side of the ridge and leads to just below the summit. It cannot easily be reached from where this photo was taken without protection. I had to make a short but exposed low Class 5 move to transition back to the east side of the ridge to get to the chockstone and back on route. Photo taken from the ridgetop south of "the first chute", September 20, 2006.
