I remember the move off this foothold as one of the scariest moments of the climb (and I was belaying!). Bill climbing wet slimy rock protected by this knifeblade.
Nearing the top of the rock section in deteriorating conditions.

Cool view looking down the summit snowfield. I was psyched here because by digging through the mush I was able to belay from two bomber ice screws.
The route takes the buttress in the center of the face.
Bill Wright, master of the mush ...

Happy times on the crux buttress, above most of the rock fall.
Next morning crossing on the Angel Glacier. The route diagonals up and right from the top of Bill's head.
The waterfall on the steep buttress that must be climbed to reach the Angel Glacier. We climbed the rock on the far left side of this photo.
