Google Earth photo of the upper basin between Huber and Victoria and the Gullies leading to the Summit Ridge of Victoria
ID 117529350 ·
Wiwaxy, Huber , Vicroria and Lefroy from N Ridge of Schaffer VERY Approximate route shown - red dots are "behind" Huber, which actually looks higher than Victoria at this angle. (NOTE: Early Ed's of GoogleEarth may incorrectly label Huber as Wiwaxy)
Two of our party (probably Tom Russler & Steve Latham) on the knife-edge snow ridge just below Victoria's summit. (From Super 8 movie film)

Google Earth photo of West Face of Huber and Upper Basin between Huber and Victoria. The VERY APPROXIMATE route taken in 1978 is shown. (Early editions of GoggleEarth may incorrectly label Mt Huber as Wiwaxi Peak(s).)
Photo 11 - Mary-Jane Cross leading the 2nd rope in the ice/snow gully (from Super 8 film)
The late Tom Russler on the summit of Victoria, 1978 (from Super 8 movie film)
Photo 7 - I took this from the "snow basin". The gully we climbed must be in the photo somewhere ! Probably the gully directly above the black spec/film-defect in right-middle. ( from Super 8 film)
Photo 3 - Climbing/scrambling on the left side of the west face of Huber with Mt Victoria now in sight (from Super 8 film)
Photo 4 - When we first got to the West Ridge of Huber we were too low to get onto the glacier, but we did get this view of the icefall. (from Syuper 8 film)
Photo 5 - On the flat section of the glacier. When we reached it it had not yet had sun and was "bullet hard" so we put on crampons. (from Super 8 film)
Photo 6 - On the steeper part of the glacier, probably between the first flat section and the "snow basin" (from Super 8 film)
Photo 8 Tom Russler and Mary-Jane Cross (in red, to left) start up the ice/snow gully (from Super 8 film)
