The plan was to do Read's Tower and Mount Sparrowhawk. However, as is often the case, I was up late the night before, and I don't remember turning off my alarm at 5am. Hence, a shorter day was in the cards.
We decided to go up to West Wind Pass, which is in the same general vicinity, but is a much shorter hike.

Unfortunately, I wasn't really prepared to do West Wind Pass, and as a result we missed a turnoff and ended up going along the scramble to Rimwall Summit. However, we stayed low enough on the shoulder such that the hike back down to West Wind Pass was quite simple.

True to its name, West Wind Pass was very windy. However, the wind was going south-to-north, so I'm not sure where "west" comes into play.

On the way back down, we followed the proper hiking trail and it was really easy. I'm glad I did the scramble as it was a bit more interesting, but Akemi would probably disagree.
