There is a big sign at the Col. Do not go over anything that does not have this sign. The problem with the west side is that everyone has gone every-which-way making it a rat's maze of trails. When you look over the Col you should see the little tarn below.

Thanks Daisy. This is what I’ve read, some have missed the col by aiming too far north of the saddle. I’ll have the coordinates in my watch (such a handy tool!).

Thanks so much for the photo, and the helpful tips! Super stoked to do this backpacking trip later this summer :)
