Traverse at the top

Climbing the Second Icefield. Watch for stonefall here and move fast.

Completing the scramble up to the ledge with the entire North Face amphitheater behind.

Kitty litter, a little snow and manky gear made for a rowdy trip accorss this fine legendary traverse.

Another pitch up the Rock Rib.

Mike setting up the belay at the Thank God Ledge below the impregnable headwall.

An early pitch up the Rock Rib.

Mike arriving at a belay on the Rock Rib.

Mike just starting up the Rock Rib, after traversing the snow ledge for an entire rope length. The traverse is quite loose & poorly protected in lean conditions such as this.

Approaching the belay at the end of the wet chimney pitch.

Mike following the wet chimney pitch.

Finishing a mellow pitch on the Rock Rib. Directly behind the climber is the "Upper Snowfield", and to the upper left, the Snow Ledge is visible.

Nearing the top of the wall. The bulbous summit of the Rock Rib, the snow ledge, the Dolphin and the Upper Snowfield are visible below.

Climbing the cruxy slab near the top of the Rock Rib.

Yet another chossy ledge traverse, this time to the penultimate pitch to reach the Thank God Ledge.

Topping out the slab pitch with Lake Annette below.

The delicate downclimb into the chossy gully.

Mike mid-way through the traverse from the The Dolphin snowfield to the upper snowfield.

The rightward traverse out of "The Dolphin". Quite sketchy in these (lean) conditions.

Entering the main body of "The Dolphin"

MT Temple North Face with The Dolphin Couloir .

Leading the "Ice Hose" pitch. In the case of this pitch, lean conditions are beneficial.

The crux lead begins with a short traverse right.

Around a buttress to the top of the upper snowfield is this wet gully/chimney. Mike is establishing a belay before the wet chimney pitch.

Mike pulling over the top of the Rock Rib.

Midway up the right tail fin.
