North Sister

On the Sisters massif, North Sister is a significant subpeak. We opted to do the trivial east slope approach from the south, though the traverse from South Sister is considered a quality route. South Sister, while a fine peak, I'd already done four times.

With the ascent under our belts, we hung out for a few then dropped back down the east slope in order to traverse over to Black Rock Sister, a minor formation to the east which we'd noticed on our ascent and then seen referenced twice in the summit register.
