Ascended the saddle between Emmons and Pinnacle via a long and tough 1500’ vert class 3 scramble. Ascended Emmons in most class 2 hiking. Back to the saddle to ascend Pinnacle. Left the ridge shortly after Pinnacle and dropped to Roberts Lake. Upper part of the descent was also class 3 and then it gradually got easier. Views from Pinnacle are amazing. Views from Emmons are a bit obstructed but the flat and wide top.
