Near the start (X) of the east ridge in August 2019. There were some moderate snow slopes below where this photo was taken--approach shoes and aluminum crampons (without glacier rescue gear) would have worked. (Photo: Mark F.)

Traversing roughly halfway through the route.
Looking down on the belay from the top of the crux pitch. Can see the rap tat on the previous gendarme at the top of the photo.
