The Kain Face from camp at the saddle between "The Dome" and Robson.
The upper slopes of Robson
Gargoyles-a-plenty. Down climbing slopes below the summit. These slopes are not on the route proper!
Resplendent from Robson-Resplendent ridge. rock was mostly class 3 with occasional class 4 moves
SE ridge of Robson August 1990
Crossing the ice fall at the Robson/Resplendent Col.
Near the ice fall at the Robson/Resplendent col.
Snow and rock along the ridge decent from the Kain Face climb to bypass the ice fall. Easy going snow and ice and loose 4th and 5th class rock are typical.
Camp near the Extinguisher, the location the chopper dropped us off and picked us up. I have heard the climb up from Berg Lake is a killer and while Suspected Alpine Climbs of the Rockies says it one day from Berg Lake to the Dome, guides tell me it is one long and hard day from Berg Lake to here.
