Moderate ice on Mt. Lincoln. 1978.

Old skool cool.

Ice conditions on 11/21/10, right side of main gully.

Mount Lincoln ice on January 21, 2007. Major and Minor are the main flow on the left. I think that Unnamed and Scottish Gully are on the flow on the right. (from Colorado Ice)

(I tried to get a good sequence of shots, but you can still see some of the seams - sorry bout that, still looks pretty decent for the internet though -- climb on! or rather from this vantage, on descent!)

Does anyone know the rating and name of this two bolt mixed line on the lower right cliff felt like M5-M6. The pic is of Tim Haren taken on 9 Nov. 12.

A narrow ice exit on the left side of the main gully.
