Quadrant, West Face, Gothics Group. Rob Wallace and I put a new route up the west face of Quadrant in July. This spectacular face is rather Yosemite-like in its appearance. We managed to find a series of cracks and ledges, a few of which held pitons and which ultimately led us to the northwest summit, which we then traversed to the center and southeast summits to the original route for the descent.
