Traversing above a giant snow patch on the face.Lots of traversing back and forth to find easier terrain.Wildflowers in the alpine meadows under the pass.A long, lonely ride towards the GDT.Elevator and Lyall.Views from Gould Dome (L), Erris, Funnel, Soap Ridge, Horseshoe Ridge, Elevators and Lyall (R).Geocache at the summit.Wildflowers in the alpine meadows under the pass.Ascending steeply to the pass under Tornado's SW face.A "low" difficult step to avoid snow.Mount Lyne and the Wisukitsak Range at mid distance with the Front Ranges beyond.Views to Sugarloaf (L), Grassy Ridge, Gould Dome, Battleship, Erris, Funnel.The crux for me was this semi-exposed, steep step.Ascending steeply to the pass under Tornado's SW face.I traversed the face to the east again from here rather than ascend to the summit directly above.Looking back down the longest uphill section on return from South Hidden Cr.Hiking through light forest on the GDT.Mount Washburn.A long, lonely ride towards the GDT.Ascending the lower rubbly SW gully / face of Tornado Mountain.
