Rock Mountain

It's very steep, especially the lower part in the forest.
It's rocky, so crampons sometimes don't work.
Once we are above the tree line, it becomes easier.
There's one section of traverse on an evalanche-prone slope.
The top ridge is corniced.
So, go to the false summit (see photo 1) first, and walk along the ridge (see photo 2), but stay on the left (west) side.
The weather wasn't good. We could barely see anything on the summit.
Thankfully, it cleared up a bit on our way down.
