Early on in the gargoyles. Robson was the only mountain to stick out of the clouds so we never were able to see other peaks or the lower part of the mountain while on the upper ridge.

The first significant vertical step in the ridge. We did a pitch of 5.7 from where this picture was taken but easier alternatives were probably further right.
About 3/4 way up the gargoyles. The rope weaves on alternate sides of the gargoyles - there are no other anchors.
