Another view of the collapsed schrund in August 1997. Bit of a bummer as it takes alot of energy to get to this location.

Not always passable. The schrund that protects the summit was totally collapsed in August 1997. We couldn't find a way around it.

Just below the summit block of Mt. Challenger
