(1) Mt. Tyrwhitt as seen from the proper approach at Pocaterra Cirque, with the majestic arch in the middle skyline.

(2) Yes, the trail is right over there what dahell are we doing in here?
We gained the first summit visible to the parking lot (Mt. Evan) just because we're cruel. Then we just traversed the entire ridge all the way to Mt. Tyrwhitt.
(1) So cruel we had to leave Evan on the ridge seen here, humping on his very own mountain... sad.

(2) Here's the final ridge to the summit. Just below us is the Grizzly Col... the correct approach.

(1) About three quarters up we reached the arch. Too bad Evan was not there to see this.

(2) At the summit, the plan to do a Mt. Pocaterra traverse faded because all we could think of was getting back at Mt. Evan, to be sure Evan has not been eaten by the vulture.
