The "narrows" section of Martha. Usually done as my second pitch unless you romp up the snow below (and a 6' section of ice) without a belay. Then it would be the 1st pitch.

Some great views of The Diamond once you top out of the gully on Martha.

The crux on 4/10/2021.

Base of the Martha climb on Mt. Lady Washington. Taken from about 350' above the lake and 50' below the start of the first constriction.

Looking down from the crux, Bill Duncan experiencing the gully in heavy spindrift.

This is a fine route!<br>
4 pitches of WI-2, M4. Yeah, it was too good to be true that it might have been an FA., but it was great to climb ice in the sun, especially after we watch 16 other climber turn around on the trail on 10-16-04 due to high wind.

Pretty sure we were the only people in the Cirque that day. High of 0 degrees with 60 mph winds.

One of the lower choke points in great condition, taken 4/10/2021.

Enjoying the rambling WI2 in the Martha's Gully of Mt. Lady Washington.

Brenta arriving near my belay atop P1. I stretched it out a full 60m and belayed right at the last vertical-ish ice constriction. 5/17/09.

The "crux" mixed section on P2 in typical mid-winter condtions (5.1-2). This route is usually melted out by mid to late April.

The full route in early March conditions before a solo. The ice was thin to non-existent.

Sunrise from the base of the climb.

Coming up the lower section in deep snow.

Jason on steep snow low on the route.

Climbing the crux in sketchy, rotten late-season conditions. June 2019 (NOT RECOMMENDED).

At the start of first pitch where it bottlenecks. FIxed cordelette and a solid piton at the crux. Josh cruising on up 2/02/19.

Looking down at Chasm right before it bottlenecks. Fixed cordelette wrapped around a horn. Josh Parsons, 2/02/19.

Crux of Martha on June 21st, 2008. It was a waterfall, all the steep parts were melted out exposing loose rock. We escaped the crux by climbing rock to the left of the black rock visible at the top of the photo.

Martha conditions on pitch 5 on 1/26/2013. If we don't get more snow soon, this route my not come in during the spring.

Mt. Lady & Meeker.

Top of Martha on June 21st, 2008. Snow conditions were great, ice conditions... not so much.

Conditions of P2 as of 2/02/19.
