not Spry, December 2nd, 2006 - page 4

Then up toward the top of Mt of the Sun. Hank demonstrates his very best slab climbing technique on the slab-crux of the climb.

The climb was actually a little desperate. The steep, loose, exposed section had a layer of snow on it, and required care to wipe the snow off the holds and your feet, before moving up. Tedious and a bit scary.

Really good views were to be had. This is the Majestic/Cathedral massif, with Spearhead Canyon coming right towards us, Behunin to the left.

This photo shows some of the exposure we were starting to feel...

Past the first dicey crux, a little playing around was called for.

Almost to the summit, the north face of Twin Brother facing us.

For Bruce and Malia, their first Zion summit.
