Mt Willard - Standard Route (Left Variant on Lower Slabs) "XX" marks the spot where I believe the photo of P8 that is in Yankee Rock and Ice was taken.

Photo#14 - P7 S Matz climbs up the slab, then will traverse right to the "ugly corner".

Photo#17 - S Matz in the corner. Compare to the 1930's-40's B&W photo on page 30 of the 1st ed. of "Yankee Rock and Ice" (realizing the B&W was taken from a higher perspective) Same Corner!
