7. The
Keyhole at 13,150' above the Boulderfield. |
8. Read the January 2003 edition of Rock and Ice
(Issue #121) for the full story of Vaille's and her partner Kiener's
epic ascent of the East Face (via Lamb's Slide, Broadway, and the
Notch Couloir) in Jan. 1925.

9. A self-portrait amongst the rime-plastered rocks
of the Keyhole.
|
10. My first view of the slabby traverse across the West Face to
get into the Trough Couloir.
|
11. Looking up the Trough Couloir, with a lot of exposed rocks.
|
12. At 13,250' at the bottom of the Trough Couloir, I put in a
favorite Crystal Method CD and cranked my way up the rock-strewn
gully, staying mostly on the snow runnels but moving back to the
rocks when the sub-surface ice got closer to the surface.
|
13. A view down the Trough from the middle of the 500' couloir
climb.
