Nice work gents! And thanks for painting that blue arrow at the ridge crossing. I'll look for the cue next time I'm up there (I hope!).

Cameron, you may want to get michaelzim's opinion on that choice of a crossing. The other option is to stay high on the slope above.

The dashed blue line is probably a safer bet-- stable blocks, at least on the south side, and only ~160' of uphill.

You may get a kick out of my little trip report from 1987. We were even getting lost in that area back then!

Wow, Derek!
What an adventure and what great detective work. It must have been almost as much fun as the original trip.
Thanks for posting.

just got back from 10 days out in the Tunemah/Blue Canyon Basin which was the aborted goal of last year's trip.

Michael - Glad to see you made it into that remote country.
Plus you got to share the trip with Ian, a very amazing and knowledgeable hiker and mountaineer.
We are looking forward to your report of this trip.
