Leading up for a ski descent off the summit.

Near the top of O'Dell's.

"T minus 1 year and counting" Feb, 1968 Reed Markley chops steps in Odell's about 1 year before Chouinard would introduce his drooped pick axe. Note the long axe. In 1968 an ascent of Odell's would take most of the day! (photo from super-8 movie film)

Blasting off up the WI2 line - first roped pitch.

Odell's Right - prior to drooped pick axes and rigid crampons, this contained the most technical ice in the NorthEast. To climb the vertical steps you had to cut deep, indented handholds to hold on while chopping your next footsteps and next handholds.
