The 5.4 dihedral below Wiessner Overhang.
Climbing on Snowpatch Spire
Darren heading up into the headwall.
Cropped photo of "Headwall above the snowpatch"
I believe this is the start of the "5.5 traverse"
Continuing up the corner system..now roped
Looking down the 1st corner from the glacier (ropeless, so must have been easy)
A party ahead of us on the headwall (above the snowpatch)
"Headwall" above the snowpatch...the route goes up there somewhere! (If someone want's to trace it, e-mail me for the photo. Also see "cropped" photo of the same)
