NE Face - close up

Close up of the NE Face. A - Class 4 crux of up-climb; B - Class 3 and 4; C - Upper snowfield in a tiny basin (not as steep as it appears from a distance); D - Class 4 then 3 then 2 "NNW Ridge" ; E - Mike Collins' ledge route (Class 4); F - location of a bivy site on crest; G - The knife-edge part of NE Ridge. It should be asseverated that none of this mountain is all that protectable. July 22, 2006.
