Route Notes BC on northwest shore of Tilicho Lake C1 at NE Spur (which leads to North Ridge) High point on North Ridge. A foot of loose powder snow on top of shale on spur. Got near site for a C2 but decided not worth continuing with such snow. Only two people got onto mountain at all: "didn't want only pain," others just not interested in climbing.
