Looking up to the summit from the final set of gargoyles
ID 107936438 ·
About 3/4 way up the gargoyles. The rope weaves on alternate sides of the gargoyles - there are no other anchors.
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.

Climbing the last gargoyle before the summit
About 3/4 way up the gargoyles. The rope weaves on alternate sides of the gargoyles - there are no other anchors.
Looking up to the summit from the final set of gargoyles
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.
Nearing the summit - Wishbone Arete is on the left and the North Face on the right of the right
The initial part of the ridge before the gargoyles get big
Back from the climb. I lost at least 60 pounds over the 6 days on the ridge.
In the main part of the face - note the vertical step from the last picture just below.
At the summit looking down the North Face
Marathon traverse because gargoyles are dumb.
The Emperor Ridge
Berg Lake from just before the technical part of the ridge. At this point we were still 3 days from the summit.
