That area is so sublime, 1800' gain and 3.5 mils puts you where you are surrounded by 7 to 9K glaciated peaks with names such as Sahale, Eldorado, Forbidden, The Triad, Mt Formidable, Storm king and so on.
Pretty easy access and glorious views of a Mountain climber's heaven, spring time is very entertaining, avalanches booming and echoing through the valley makes you stop and look. Decidedly NOT climbing season.

This visit was late summer, wildfire smoke and haze cut the views way back
