Kim Clark descending a steep slope in style. This slope descends from the Continental Divide near Mt. Valenciennes in the Canadian Rockies. In 2015 we camped for a week on the other side of the pass right of center.Michelle Hegmon climbing a superb slope near Icefall Peak. From a week at Icefall Lodge in 2007.Katie Larson on a large slope during our traverse of the Gold Range of the Monashees in 2007.The extremely exposed traverse to the summit of Lyell 5, guided by Pierre Hungr in 2012. A couple years later it was an easy walk across the top.Rob Nachtwey leading the way to Cranberry Ridge during our traverse of the Gold Range of the Monashees in 2007.The outhouse at the Lyell Hut, the highest ski hut in the Canadian Rockies.

Mount Goodrich is the central sharp summit, and our tracks down from the Goodrich–Odysseus col are well shown in this shot from Typee taken by Ellen Hollinshead.A magnificent composition by Ben during our climb of the West Wrong Glacier to the Goodrich–Odysseus col (photo by Ben McShan during our Oasis Lake camp, 2013).Looking north to the Moby Dick massif, Ahab (rear), Forecastle (flat white peak right of center), Benito Cereno (left of Moby Dick), and Butters (sharp summit at right rear). In 2004 we skied Butters from Battle Abbey. Also in that year we got into the Abbey using the gentle col right of Forecastle. Photo taken during the base camp at Oasis Lake in 2013. In 2015 David Nebel, Pierre Hungr, and I climbed Moby Dick (the peak in center).The Wrong Icefall at left. We visited this area twice. In 2004 we skied from Snow Ocean (center rear) to Battle Abbey, and descended the steep slope to looker’s right of the icefall. In 2013 we spent a week at a camp at Oasis Lake (bottom center, below the cliff right of the icefall. The name “Wrong” is due to Sam Silverstein, who in 1959 dropped a cache from an airplane for a summer climbing trip on the wrong glacier.Icefall Peak, near Icefall Lodge, which I have visited several times.
