Mount Torment, North Ridge. Jim Pritchard and I made this fairly easy but very enjoyable alpine climb in mid-July, 1969. Camp was made in Boston Basin. To get to the north ridge we crossed over the south ridge and the west ridge of Torment. We then dropped 1000 feet and traversed across the northwest glacier to the foot of the north ridge. The ridge crest was gained from the left via a narrow and fairly steep snow finger which ended in a short class-four rock pitch. Once on the ridge crest, the route was mostly class three.
