Mount Heyburn, Northwest Ridge. Beckey and Fuller climbed about two-thirds of the way up the northwest ridge and then traversed into the north face where they found some fine class five pitches to the top. A few days later Fuller took me up the same route with two minor variations, and on this occasion we decided to take a crack at the rest of the ridge. Fuller could not do so because of a broken ankle, but on September 5 Dr. James Ball and I climbed to about the halfway mark of the northwest ridge via the lower slabs of the north face and then successfully ascended the ridge directly to the top.
