The first significant vertical step in the ridge. We did a pitch of 5.7 from where this picture was taken but easier alternatives were probably further right.

Back from the climb. I lost at least 60 pounds over the 6 days on the ridge.
Early on in the gargoyles. Robson was the only mountain to stick out of the clouds so we never were able to see other peaks or the lower part of the mountain while on the upper ridge.

About 3/4 way up the gargoyles. The rope weaves on alternate sides of the gargoyles - there are no other anchors.

In the main part of the face - note the vertical step from the last picture just below.
Berg Lake from just before the technical part of the ridge. At this point we were still 3 days from the summit.
