Mount Toll from the north

Post by habaceeba »

Hi. Pardon me if this has already been answered, but I am planning on heading up Audubon and Paiute this weekend. I'm curious about accessible terrain on Mt. Toll. Since I'm going solo, I don't want to chance going up the 5th class north ridge or face. Has anyone tried to wrap around the east side and go up the easier south ridge of Mt. Toll? I would imagine it's a loose mess, but is it doable?

Edit: This is days in the past, but I must clarify for safety sake that I meant wrap around the West side, not the east side. Wrapping around the east side would be preposterous to put it bluntly.

Yes, easy class 2 and just talus hopping.

Yeah, pretty easy from the south.

Seems like the west would be more fun:
