Mount Russell, New Era. In October Kim Walker and I climbed this route on Russell’s west face, about 100 feet left of the Rowell-Jones route. Ascend an obvious right-facing book with many cracks on its left wall. The second pitch continues out and right in the arching book. A pitch goes up then right, then up to the base of a long right-facing corner. Climb cracks on the left wall of the corner, then move to the main dihedral and to the top. NCCSIII-IV, F10.
