View up towards Snow Dome and Olympus from the Lateral Moraine
Photo of the summit pinnacle from the false summit. The standard north face route is on the right, and the east face route is on the left. Note the bergschrund on the right which is impossible to cross this year (no snow bridges).

View from Snow Dome up towards the Summit. In early season you can go straight up the steep snow while in later season (shown) a large bergschrund forms and forces you to traverse around (left)
