Hasn't voted | looks more like something from the west side than the Pearly Gates. Where exactly in the Gates was this? | | Posted Nov 24, 2004 11:10 pm |

Hasn't voted | This was in the entrance to the narrowest part. Apparently, meltwater from the summit snowfield creates an ice flow (60-70 ft long) there this time of year. That day, even the rest of the mountain was covered with a thick ice layer. I had to place a couple screws descending through the Pearly Gates to maintain sanity. Bergschrund to Gates exit was much more of a strenuous frontpointing session than anything on Reid last May. | | Posted Nov 25, 2004 4:38 am |

Hasn't voted | front pointing up the South Side? Man, just a reminder of how variable conditions on high mountains can be, awesome photo. God, I still can't believe this shot in some ways.
