Traversing the Bells. 08/13/2011.
The Bells Traverse with some May snow (the crux rock sections were dry, but there were some added crux snow sections).
Near the lowpoint of the Bells traverse.
The crux section of the traverse. We climbed up the low 5th Class chimney in the heavily shadowed corner on the left.
Nearing North Maroon.
N Maroon from near the summit of S Maroon. The traverse looks pretty easy from here!

Embrace the choss and go.... Looking North across the ridge to N. Maroon Peak. About to begin the crux of my solo adventure.
Kelly down climbs a colorful dihedral typical of the scrambling on the route.
Minnehaha Gulch behind me takes you to the northwest col.
Looking back at South Maroon along the rotten ridge.
