Tackling the water ice step about 1/3 of the way up the couloir.  A second tool is handy here but it's so short and easy that no protection is called for.  It may be possible to avoid the ice with some 3rd class scrambling on skiers right.

Near the top of Flour Power Couloir.  This is the steepest snow of the route - possibly exceeding 60 degrees.

Adam on the direct 5.7+ start of Inwood Arete.  There were basically 4 distinct crack systems on the face.  This is the rightmost - it looked to be the driest, most continuous, and easiest to protect of the four crack systems.

Traversing below Unsoeld's Needle.  During the ascent we simul-climbed it but during the descent we downclimbed it unroped.  Drizzlepuss is in shadow in the background.
