Dirk rappelling the first pitch down Batian's southeast arete toward Gate of Mists. From there we climbed up the steep snow on the left side of the towers to get to Nelion. January 2006

scotjackGreat shot!

You can't see it here, but the exposure behind "Dirk" (down the Diamond glacier/couloir) shrinks your testicles - to put it politely!

Perhaps that is why he has his back to it?

Thanks! As I remember the exposure on both sides of Gate of Mists were crazy!

Yes your right - it gets your attention both ways, especially if the wind is blowing!

I am going back in December - I'll try to get a shot showing it. Its just not the best situation to be messing about with cameras.
