The West Ridge of Benench’iltledi Peak

These ‘Elementary Mountains’ have made a sweet spot in my heart since I found them on google earth back in my college days. I’d made a try at skiing one of them that semester, but that didn’t work out. That was over two years ago. Furthermore, it was cloudy on that trip so I still lacked any reconnaissance photos of the area. Benench’iltledi Peak, was pretty standalone and it had a particular route I wanted to do it by; the west ridge. Additionally, I had some good beta on the approach for this peak from a Roaming Dials packrafting page
