The Terrible Traverse

Graham and Tony on the traverse looking north. Beyond Tony is the awful loose ground we strayed onto by mistake. Don't go there!!

Looks familiar

After a week in the Absarokas, I began wondering where in the world there was rock NOT like this!

Re: Looks familiar

LoL. Actually what we were on in this shot was reasonable. Go up the gully to climber's left - past the second guy - as we mistakenly did, and then you're into a world of hurt. "Liquid" rock is the only way I can describe it. Truly frightening.
