I don't know what it normally has, but the lower section is the "rock band" Fritz referred to before. I suspect it is always exposed. There is nothing below it. If you slip from there you end up down at Guitar Lake.

Once you get past the rock band, it's just a steep but easy climb to the top.

Got it. I was in a rock band in high school, so this should be no trouble. Played guitar in a punk/ska band called Skamode ( our logo was a black/white checkered toilet )

At least you can see some snow in those pics.
