Write Up:
Despite being late in July, this classic climb turned quite cold up high. We ended up deciding to try Going-to-the-Sun Mountain first to make sure we would be able to get around the small snow fields. Those turned out not to block the standard route, and we got to the top with the usual class 3 scrambling. After returning to the saddle, we then took the ridge up Matahpi before returning to the saddle and then down to the meadows. There is now a fairly prominent climbing trail through the meadows.
