I'm starting to think that our climb of Goode's Northeast Buttress began with a harder start than normally required. We couldn't begin right at the toe due to a large moat, but we did find some blocks of connecting ice on the left side of the buttress. Chris Koziarz and I climbed two 5th class pitches to reach the long section of easier terrain Klenke referred to.



Chris's yellow helmet can barely be seen. I'm taking a picture because I've escaped to relatively easy heathered terrain.
