This page is mainly for Milesy, who was visiting Vegas for his honeymoon. Jet-lagged and dehydrated by medication, he nonetheless followed me up this obscure and difficult route to the NLT.

	On the NNW ridge. In the distance, from L to R: McFarland, Mack’s, and Sisters.	Same view point, panorama; Mummy Mt at R.
		The ridge of Amargosa Overlook is in back.
	On top of Lee. The Mummy Range is at R.	Charleston from Lee. The helicopter crash glints in the sun. on the left side of the peak near top.
Resting on the side of Charleston; view down Kyle Conyon.	On the summit.
Heli crash is visible.	This was the only other fellow that we saw on the route (till we saw the workers at Ski Lee).	Milesy is a bit taller than I.
The springs on decent were frozen.
