Once on Audubon... Mount Toll and southern views of the Indian Peaks dominated the day
I took the east ridge to Mount Paiute's summit
The impressive Mount Toll. I climbed the north face with Kristi and Jenny a few years back

Blue Lakes while descending Paiute
Descending Paiute's southeast face was blocky, slabby and had some interesting down climbing
