The ice section above the chimney. The obvious line to ascend is the ice (not well-visualized here) on the L-angling ramp. In the lower right, you can see the rap above the chockstone.

Christa has just crossed manky ice and is approaching the difficult move onto rock ledge about ten feet above her.

1st Pitch of Alexander's with The Diamond in the background.

The pitch below the chockstone. This was the only ice we encountered - dinner plate ice and shallow. There is another rap anchor body height of the climber on the right.

Looking back on a great route. 12.8.02.

Just before we bailed on P1, full conditions Oct 24th, 09'. The spindrift above my head would not let up!

The first pitch: after the step from the snowfield. Sloped rock, few pick holds, super fun.
