Evening view of conditions on the North Face and North Ridge, August 1998. Just the right amount of snow I think.

Summit view August 1998. Cold in the shadows that morning. Route was in good shape. About 7 hours round trip from the hu that day.

Last section of the route - an easy stroll along the ridge, August 1998

Perfect sunrise on the lower section of the route - August 1998. The guides had warned of high winds, but we had a perfectly calm day. Go figure?
