Re: Great shot!

That was a pretty surreal pitch of climbing!

Re: North Face route?

Yup. This is the exit pitch from the glacier. We had to tunnel behind a large bridge, climb some wet, slimy rock (easy, but mostly unprotected), and then top out on the highest piece of snow below the wall. I'm at the bottom of the first rock pitch taking the picture.

Very Unusual

Thanks for showing us an angle and a route that rarely gets posted on SP. It's great to see actual climbing in unusual places even though it's such a typical mountain.
