“Mother Lode” (P 7905), Northeast Ridge. Located ¾ mile west of Crescent Mountain, “Mother Lode” presents good climbing possibilities. My brother Carl and I climbed its northeast ridge on June 16. Late-season snow made travel easy. We gained the ridge via a ramp at 6600 feet. The climbing was alpine in nature along the crest on solid rock (II or III, 5.5).
