West Twin Peak, Southeast Face, Titcomb Basin, Wind River Range. Jay Goodwin and I climbed what we believe is a new route on West Twin Peak. It is best seen in the early morning hours, when the sunlight isolates the prominent arête extending from the southeast face. The first pitch is distinguished by an excellent fingertip layback seen about 50 feet up the wall. After the first full 150-foot pitch, we traversed to the farthest left crack-and-dihedral system on the arête. The climb went up this difficult system and then up two more pitches of easy climbing to the summit. The rock is of the same quality as that in the Cirque of the Towers. (5 pitches, II, 5.10)
