DSCF0358.JPG14 viewsThe description in Idaho Alpine Zone advises the more northerly route as the better descent route. I did not investigate this further, relying on route finding experience. I descended via the more northerly chute. It was loose and tedious, but easier than the descent to Hummock Lake the day before. One can see the ridge above Ants Basin, the closer of the three ridges on the horizon.

DSCF0475.JPG14 viewsI climbed to the east until I could see down into the proper canyon which led to Iron Basin, 1000 feet below. The ridge abruptly turned north at this point, climbing east to the summit of Watson Peak, marking the west entrance to Iron Basin. I was able to contour down to the 8700’ level safely, where I had camped 2 years before.
