We went to Mt. Tyrwhitt which I have heard a short time hiking and scramble and ridge walk. We tried to get the summit via Highwood Ridge Route rather than the normal route, Pocaterra CirQue then it turned to not a short time hiking and no ridge walk with lack of time. Moreover, thunderstorms hit us on the way back. I was exhausted...
A gentle slope in the beginning. Before getting here, there is a branch of Pocaterra CirQue and Highwood Ridge Route. We chose Highwood Ridge Route as mentioned above.
You can see Tyrwhitt in the middle of Highwood Ridge Route.
Beneath the first peak.
Walking a gentle ridge for a while.
It seemed that there were two Japanese people in the valley (?) on the left. I was surprised because I could hear their voice with such distance.
Gentle ridge ends. It suddenly gets hard to walk.
Scramble the place like this. Stones are easy to float and unstable.

Once going down then get to Grizzly Col (front wall).
Grizzly Col. Everyone up and down were struggling.
There is a heart shaped hole in the middle. You can walk on this but it seemed a bit scary.
Summit! Suddenly the weather became worse and winds got strong. So we could stay at the top very shortly.
We chose the regular route, Pocaterra CirQue, for the way back.
