Mike King returning home. He and his family are very kind folk, and provided us with a welcome meal and a refreshing beverage after we were airlifted back out of the range.

Mt. Waddington - The centerpiece of the range and indeed, all of the British Columbia Coast Range.
Rapping down the south face of the Claw as the storm and nightfall closed in around us. Seth and I are in the photo pulling the rope for rappel. Photo, once again, by Tom Gray.
Myself and Seth Hobby approaching the base of Tellot Spire One. Our route followed the left-facing dihedral on the left side of the face, then up a beautiful corner/crack system and up a chimney at about 3/4 height. Our ascent appears to be a first-ascent variation of the Fabische-Waters route, and went at 5.9 A1.

Seth makes the long and insecure snow traverse to gain the harder water ice in the center of the couloir. The ice went at WI3 and was sustained at about 70 degrees.
Looking out over the Eastern range and Serra One from the flanks of Serra Two.
Jeremy at the Dragontail Camp as the sun set behind the Cataract Peaks. The atmosphere gave the whole area a somewhat ethereal quality that day.
The beloved Plummer Hut, where we spent 5 out of our 9 days in the range in inactivity. Hurray for Ayn Rand...
The imposing granite spires of the Tiedmann Group, with the jagged Serra-Stilletto Group in the foreground at sunset. This is the last view we had of these mountains for the next 4 days.
