Janelle pops out of the chimney and back on to the East Ridge after a short rappel, traverse, & climb to get around the large, snow-covered gendarme visible behind.
Traversing around the 'wave-shaped' fin, just above the "Rappel Notch". The summit of the Thumb is visible in the background just right of the climber's pack.
