North sister - terrible traverse

Here's a climbers view of the so-called "Terrible Traverse" on North sister in late-season. When this is snow-covered, it can be a pitch or two of 50° alpine ice which will require your full attention. However, in late-season when the snow is gone, it's an easy third class scramble. There is a brief section with a bad runout, so larger climbing teams will probably want a fixed rope across it. Use several small cams for anchors at either end. (As mentioned in some of my previous photos, please avoid the common mistake of ascending the gully with the red X marks.)
