Peak 9,700 - North Face


The north Face of "Offcourse Peak". Our line started from the lowest ice, and went strait up.

Phil also gets the bug to climb this morning, and he follows me up.


Phil takes over the lead.


The sun begins to rise on our steep face.


Phil leads through the snow until the base of the last ice section above.

Phil follows, and the ice gets steeper. (60 degrees)


Phil heel hooks himself over the small steep breech in the cornice.
