Description

Following our Wilson Peak hike, George, Matt, and I were going to climb the Snake Couloir on Mount Sneffels but were unable to get any good information on current conditions.  As a result, we decided to play it safe and simply climb the southwest ridge and descend the standard route.  I thought this was a fairly fun route with most of the class 3 scrambling near the summit.
