Tricky climbing |
Rest stop at one of the false summits |
Snow patches |
The chains |
The chains got everyone pretty excited |
Past the chains it didn't get a whole lot easier for a while |
Nearing the summit |
This is the top anchor for Diretissima, a rock climb that ascends the center of the vertical face to Yam's summit. |
The former large cairn is gone. Just a couple of baby cairns now. |
The view from the top |
Coming down the west side |
Getting a bit tired... |
Just as we ran out of water we reached the spring! |
A glorious day, and an accomplishment that all of the kids will be proud of for life. The view of Yam from the Rez. |
