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.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!).

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

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

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.
