I continued west down to the saddle between the two peaks & all the while could hear rosy finches far below. I climbed down the north face from the saddle, following a route starting a little east of the large snow bank (which runs west from the saddle) & climbing down & laterally east across the face of the East summit until I reached the cirque floor. In route I heard many Hoary Marmots, Conies, & Golden-mantled Ground Squirrels and a few Water Pipits. The bottom of the cirque, as well as its head (west of me) is filled with large boulders. The lower slopes of the north face that I just descended have many small plants growing amid the talus. Species include: Carpet Pink, Willow, Dryas, Skunkweed (Polemonium), Spotted Saxifrage, & Mtn. Sorrel. Clark's Nutcrackers were occasionally seen. On these lower slopes there were at least 20 adult + 30 young Rosy Finches feeding in a very loose flock. I collected 14 adults + 2
