The saddle between D. O. Lee Peak and WCP-9 from the somewhat protected rock outcrop, before traversing the goat path to the ridge.  The winds I encountered during the ascent were the strongest I have ever experienced; 40 to 50 mph!  It was a great relief to get to solid rock at this outcrop and out of the worst wind.
