"Hang'n Five" on Sill's...

"Hang'n Five" on Sill's summit. Looking down to the U Notch and the North Couloir at sunset. No Bivy gear, no sense (What class 3 walk-down?) - we rapelled 600 feet in the twilight and ended up bearly defying death (Rock fall) to put on the breaks in the dark, one rope length down the ice chute.Sleep? Not ! Fun? Oh Yes, A pilgrimage of the spirit for sure! Our route, the Swiss Arete is on the middle right.

U Notch?

Nice pic, but you are looking down at the Glacier Notch. U Notch is West of Sill (about 1/3 mile left - West - from where you stand), in between Polemonium and North Palisade.
