Climbed the ridge with Vitaliy from our camp on the Palisade Glacier. All was going well until we reached the notch. From there we spent the rest of the day having routefinding issues, especially near the very end!
We bivvied at the top of the North Couloir and climbed the summit block the next day, descending Underhill Couloir.

Deceptively long
with Michal - after a late start from Glacier Lodge, we didn't start climbing from Winchell col until 3pm - reach the base of the summit block around 8pm. Bivied a little ways towards Starlight then came back the next morning to climb the summit block. 5.9 in appproach shoes was interesting.
Continued towards Starlight but then just bailed at the top of Underhill couloir.
Fun day in the mountains.
