I took this photo of Little Bear's ridgeline after soloing the NW face. It was pretty loose.

Lucas Clarke feeling the exposure near the top of the final headwall. Approx. 100 ft below the ridge.
NW Face of Little Bear from Lake Como. Black Hand can be seen just to the right and lower than the top of the tree in the left of the picture. We started approx. 150 ft to climber's right of the Black Hand and then trended left to gain easier ground until the final 400 ft headwall which was quite stiff. A few sequences were low class 5, but we didn't rope up.

Ascending the summit ridge just after toping out on the NW Face. Doubly exposed and awesome.
