Just a Boulder field, good thing we did not have to cross
fritz_da_kat:
Ian, our fearless climb leader
fritz_da_kat:
Finally some crags, and the head wall of doom in front of us
fritz_da_kat:
The headwall of doom (and slide alder) again. Navigating this was sort of type 2 fun, if not type 3, if such a thing exists.
fritz_da_kat:
Luckily enough snow was covering the bush
fritz_da_kat:
3 inches of new snow
fritz_da_kat:
What can be better that hopping on boulders covered with fresh, wet snow? No broken legs this time, and no sprained ankles.
fritz_da_kat:
Finally, at the bench!
fritz_da_kat:
Checking the snow
fritz_da_kat:
Larches
fritz_da_kat:
Selfie time!

Trudging up towards the glacier
fritz_da_kat:
The Burgundy col with the Wine Spires to its left.
fritz_da_kat:
Step by step
fritz_da_kat:
Getting steeper. The glacier looked benign, we did not rope up.
fritz_da_kat:
One more wall of snow… or two
fritz_da_kat:
The valley is far down
fritz_da_kat:
A beautiful small glacier
fritz_da_kat:
Zig-zag
fritz_da_kat:
The saddle!
fritz_da_kat:
An incredibly beautiful place
fritz_da_kat:
Summit block

fritz_da_kat:
Yuckti and Praveen attempting the scramble
fritz_da_kat:
Where next?
fritz_da_kat:
Route finding
fritz_da_kat:
That’s how far I got before we called it. Two of the basic students had summit fever and darted to tag the summit
fritz_da_kat:
Descending
fritz_da_kat:
Down the rocks
