We're headed up towards those 3 peaks just right of center.
Here's a closer look. The high point is actually a treed bump not visible that's behind the left peak. The center peak is cool looking, but super exposed and I'd want a rope and protection for it.

Here's the sketchy center peak that calls for some rope and a bit of gear. The rock looks solid when you're up close, but is really brittle.

Coming down off the leftmost of the three peaks in order to gain the higher, treed point further on. This is the crux difficult section of the ridge.
Kerry and Blanka coordinated with each other in the morning to both wear red.
Andrea covering up a hickey as Marta asks for details. OK, I made that up.
Ali, chillaxing.
Dustin, pondering why he's stuck in K-Country and not on Everest.
