We begin our long approach
The ascent ridge is visible on the left
Bill grinds his way up to the first high point
This is the descent route, only one or two tricky spots
Wietse approaches the second high point
The summit is visible in the distance, still a long way to go
We bypassed the next high point along a beaten trail
Pinnacle and the final push to the summit
Cold, blowing snow obscures our views
Wietse and I make it offical
Oh Canada, my moment of silence
We move quickly off the summit, visibility poor
Vern and Wietse discuss the alternate descent
A powdery descent quickly returns us to the creek bed
A long 8.5 hour day but the summit is in the bag
