Mount Hayes, Southwest Face of the South Summit. On April 4 Cliff Moore and I climbed the route done in 1976. (See A.A.J., 1977, p. 161.) We climbed alpine-style, making the ascent and descent in five days. We descended the west ridge, following in the steps of two friends who had made their ascent two days prior.
