Photo 3 - Three of our party approach the SE Arete/Ridge "proper". My recollection is that it was either just below here, or somewhere in this picture that we hit some ice. Without crampons we chopped steps...slow going. (from super 8 film)

Photo 4 - A long way to go ! Looking at the "SE Arete" (the South-to-North ridge) of Mt Victoria from somewhere on, or near, our high point. The "high point" is NOT the summit! The Summit may not even be in the photo yet! (from Super 8 film)
