Mark Whalen near the rib separating the ice gulleys
Bivi ledge cut into the rib separating the ice gulleys
View down the upper couloir after traversing into it from the rib
Looking below, our bivi is just visible, cut into the rib
View of the upper couloir from our rib bivouac
The upper section of the couloir
The ice climbing ends at the base of a steep rock headwall
Mark cuts a ledge just big enough to melt water on our second night
Mark begins the difficult rock climbing up the Headwall on day 3
The Headwall consists of very difficult to protect, rotten rock
A section of slightly overhanging rock required hours of careful climbing in winter
Mark pops his head above the cornice at the top of couloir after hours of climbing
Finally in the sunshine, we traverse towards the summit for our last bivouac
The view of Mt Temple which I had climbed 10 days before.
Mark ascends the last few meters to the summit after the bivouac just beneath it
We descend over Mt Neptuak to the col beyond & ski out after another hungry bivi
