Awesome

In the last several years I have become more and more interested in this side of the mountain. You captured some great lighting here.

Re: Awesome

Thank you so much. The North side still has great looking glaciers, and it's not too hard to capture pretty good photos of them.

Re: nice photo Marc.

Thank you for the compliment, Dan. But, I am not sure if this photo was taken by me or my friend Steve Tucker. We all took a lot of pix and at the end shared everything.

As far as Willis Wall goes, I recommend reading my Liberty Ridge TR. The rock fall and avalanch was constant. It really is a death trap. But, I know it has been done, Given super cold temps and a lot of luck.

Re: Magnificent!

Yes, it sure does look magnificent. Unfortunately, it's shedding it's top layer in a hurry. The glacier is littered by rocks. The ridge itself is enough of a challenge for me.
Thanks for the visit, Borut.
Happy climbing,
Marc
