South Howser from the approach to the Beckey-Chouinard

What could be better than getting Fred's blessing before hiking in to climb South Howser?

A long walk awaited us that night. We were camped at a small tarn above Cobalt Lake. Took about three hours to get there. July 1979

The dihedral on the lower part of the BC, with the headwall above.

Great White Headwall. This is not the BC route. It is harder. But looks way cool.

A group working the head wall cracks just above the bivy ledge. Not sure what they go at?

From the summit looking North West during sunset

Erik & Felix super stoked to be on the summit of South Howser Tower.

Tension traverse (or 5.10 free) at start of Pitch 15.

Looking down at the lower part of the Beckey-Chouinard from the top of pitch 11.

Dennis Ellsohn jugging snowy iced up cracks on day 2. July 1979

Looking up from the base of the rap route.

Samuel somewhere on the slabby, White Headwall

Harz on the tricky traverse above the headwall.

Can use these pins for the tension traverse at start of Pitch 15.

The first pitch of the Great White Headwall climbs a short 5.10 offwidth/fist crack, then up these steep 5.9 cracks to the belay

On the rap route. With the wind and the lower angle of the first half of the rappel route, we decided to rap the first half with a single 70 rather than double ropes. The basic idea for Rappels 1-3 is to stay on the ridge and don't wander towards North Howser.

Pitch 10. The right-hand crack is a bit easier.

Sunset on the big bivy ledge below the headwall.

At the split boulders which mark the start of the roped climbing.

On the summit. A pair of rap bolts is just around the block Jon (in orange) is standing at in the photo.

Starting up the headwall. When we climbed the route the next chimney section was the crux, as it was swamped with snow and ice! Full value fun!

Glenn T. follows the second pitch of the BC, which climbs this 5.7 corner crack

First rappel at the top of the gully on pitch 15.

Me at the rap station after the crux pitch

The first pitch of the Great White Headwall

At the Pigeon-Howser Col looking down into East Creek Basin.

Nate during our Patagonian conditions ascent. The chimneys on P12 were completely iced over so we opted for the cracks out left.

At the top of Pitch 15, make a 20m rappel to the right to easier blocky terrain.
