We're aiming for
that steep gully
just right of top
center.

The first cliff band.
There is (as of 2014
and 2022) a pile of
unnecessary cheater
stones

In gully (marked
by cairn at bottom).
There is one chockstone,
which was easier to
clear when there was
snow.

There have been 2
webbing handlines since
at least 2014. Neither
is particularly well-
anchored, and I
didn't trust them in
2014 or 2022.

This section has had a
technora-sheathed rope
since at least 2014.
The right side, where I am,
seems to be the safest.

This was the
creepiest spot,
with hard snow
at 60 degrees.
