Mt. Eolus, the highest peak in the Weminuche Wilderness, is a tough climb that shouldn't be underestimated. On the approach, you must cross a narrow, exposed section called the Catwalk. Then, once across the ridge, the final climb is an interesting puzzle of routefinding among grassy ledges and rock blocks. The summit is broad and flat, and the views from here are the best in the entire area. If I were to climb one peak from the Chicago Basin, this would be it.
