It's just to the right of the smear that comes down the lower half of the face.

It's one of the easiest approaches in the Chugach. Two miles on a groomed cross country ski trail then about five miles up the frozen river. Seven miles total with zero bushwacking and maybe 150 feet of elevation gain. Takes a few hours depending on conditions.

Impressive indeed! Too bad this report is the only one that the pictures came up on. Especially since the reports are mostly photos...

JohnKelley. Thanks for cold, committing, and inspirational TR's. ALL OF THEM. One of the things I look forward to and look for when I visit this site. Gives me hope that I can do my weak ass stuff. Which reminds me...I need to get some warmer gear.

I missed this first time around. Looks like the kind of nights where you wait for it to be light enough to get moving and quit shivering.
