Cool

Great shot, I do a lot of my trip solo and so I don't get these kinds of shots very often.

Re: Waw ...

The snow was soft enough to get a good self belay with my ice axe. Later in the season it would be wise to protect the climb.

Re: Great photo

I'm not sure, but it is deeply inset and definately sees very little sun. It remains as an ice climb during the summer and fall.

Great Shot

I like this one because of the plunging perpective. Really shows the climb, the steepness. Yup, would be nice when icy. But in any conditions - what a fab place to "be".

You get a great

sense of the height in this photo.
Kinda steep, in other words.
