South Early Winter Spire/South Arête

trip report for Saturday, 9/13:
travel time: 7am TH - 2:30pm summit - 6:30pm TH
Great climb with a fun group and excellent conditions! One 2-person party ahead of us on the route. Ascent took a little longer than expected, all good though. The summit got busy with parties from various routes meeting up. Rappel route busy too. Yet, as on the way up, all parties were considerate and respectful. Despite all the traffic, rappelling was surprisingly efficient.
Goats showed off with free soloing a steep slab section close to the whale back! Pretty amazing.
