Actually let me see if screenshoting the photo works.

It worked.
Jackpot! You have the grail, I've had trouble finding the Kramarsic book because I can usually only afford day hikes so I launch from the front range at like 1 am and end up at slavonia before dawn (gotta do what you gotta do). When I'm done, i make the drive back so i usually skip bookstore shopping in steamboat where I assume someone sells it and bust home. The book isn't on amazon (er, well it is but its perma unavailable) and no local stores in my neck of the woods carry it as far as I know. As a result, been kind of shotgun exploring the various ridges around this area and hunting for scrambles.
Here's what I've done (trip reports to follow once I stop working so dang much)
-scrambled through the Spike (Class 4),
-B. Agnes West Ridge (Class 3-4),
-scrambled up a small rock formation that looks like a howling wolf or howling pika (Class 3+)
-north from B. Agnes along the first half of the ridge, ending at the Incisor (Class 4, optional 5 bit closer to B. Agnes but avoidable w/ a loose Class 2-3 traverse).
Here's what I'm hoping to find out:
-"The castle," the endcap on the ridge running north from Big Agnes. I think its point 11,811 or something similar
-any beta on Pt. 11,580 and its connecting ridge to pt. 11,777?
-There's also a ridge between Big Agnes and Zirkel that looks super interesting as well, lower but very craggy and the rock looks super fun/solid.
For reference, the hardest thing I've solo scrambled is probably the Bells Traverse (finished the 14ers back in 2018), so anything involving a few moves of lower Class 5 is within my ability. Any info helps, if it's in the book that's great, if not, that's ok too.
