South from the Top

This is a view south in the direction of the summit of Medicine Bow Peak (summit not visible here) from near the top of South Klondike Couloir. Since I'd been atop Medicine Bow three times before, I opted to keep my crampons on, traverse the snow, and glissade down a large snowfield just below the summit instead of hiking to the summit itself.
