Mount Moffit, Northwest Ridge, 1975. After a reconnaissance, Mike Sallee, Doug Buchanan, Jim Jennings and I started up the northwest ridge of Mount Moffit and placed camps at 7000 and 9800 feet. After fixing the route up a 600-foot face and along a sharp ridge, on July 29, 1975, Sallee and Buchanan plowed to the top (13,020 feet) and back in a long day. Jennings and I waited in High Camp for a week, but the weather and snow conditions remained poor. This was the second ascent, by the original route.
