I attempted to traverse to Point 13,180 C from Point 13,300 and found the rock too dangerously loose for my liking. I took a gully down off Point 13,300's northwest ridge into the basin, crossed west across grass and boulders, and ascended a steep, loose bit of dirt/scree/talus to a saddle east of Point 13,180 C, then backtracked up the Class 1/2 northeast slopes of Point 13,180 C. If traversing along the ridge to Point 13,300 and Point 13,155 be aware the rock on the ridge is exceptionally, dangerously loose.
