Mount Russell, New Route. On the south side of Mount Russell, to the right of the ridge which defines the Sierra crest, are two prominent arêtes. The left arête is a previously unreported eight-pitch 5.8 climb, first ascent unknown. In July, Claude Fiddler, Vern Clevenger and I climbed the right arête. A rappel into a notch high on the route was the only aid we used. (III, 5.10, A1.)
