I crossed this scree field and ascended just to the left of the trees until I found an access gully to the north ridge
Looking back at Arrow from just below the access gully
Electric's access gully on the right. Steeply winds up to grassy terrain above
The gully will be around the corner to the right
Looking up the gully. There were also some steeper and looser sections
Looking back towards Vestal and the Trinities
On the ridge looking up Electric's fun easy C3 north ridge
Arrow from Electric's summit. Only appropriate that a storm was quickly building. Time to get outta here! Jagged in the distance on the right
Jagged always demanding attention
"Look at me... I'm Jagged"

Pretty cool up here!
Almost to the bottom of Electric's north ridge
After taking this shot I got hammered with rain and hail. Made descending the gully back to camp exciting and sporty. Thankfully I had rain gear.
