What a fun day! Laszlo and I intended to just do East & West Damsel Peaks via the NE Gully, with a possible stop at Steep Peak on the way down. When we got to West Damsel, we decided to try our luck with Gateway Peak. The ridge traverse wasn't too bad and the views from the summit were quite unique.
