Paul and I at the base of Tonsa.
From partway up Tonsa, we got a great view of the Fay glacier in the as the sun hit.

At the summit, another rope team from our group arrived via another ascent route after going up Perrin.

The descent route was a landslide of mucky scree!

Can't get enough of that hut perched on the col!
Descending back to the car, we saw some climbers coming up the crux 5.7 pitch of the Perrin route.
