| After climbing the gully from the meadow above Ediza, you walk over a low ridge and into this large bowl. From the ridge, the route contours around the bowl, just low enough to avoid the edge of the snow up by the pinnacle. Then cross over the fairly steep ridge of snow extending down and to the right of the low pinnacle which is at the southeast corner of the southeast glacier. This puts you onto the glacier, proper, just about level with a large rock outcrop which is a convenient spot to take a quick break and reconnoiter the next phase of the climb. |
