Climb to the Ritter-Banner saddle as described on the Banner Peak page. Ice axe and crampons are almost always required for this route.Banner Peak is an easy 30-45 minute scramble from the saddle. If you haven't been to the summit before and if you have the extra energy, it is well worth a visit. There is an outstanding view of Ritter's North Face from the summit.
