Mount Heyburn, Complete East Ridge, Sawtooth Range. Stan Hilbert and I made the complete traverse of the east ridge of Mount Heyburn, climbing all major gendarmes directly, in seven hours. The route involved several difficult abseils. Slings should be carried. From the col between the south and north summits a short free climb led to a line of rusty pitons towards the north summit. Above the pitons easy climbing led to the summit. NCCS III, F6, Al.
