Scott comes up the shoulder on the east ridge - notice how high we are already and still have 500 meters of climbing to go yet!Looking down at the two guys behind us as they wait for us to clear the section we roped up for.The steep stuff doesn't stop after the crux but the holds are great and when dry it feels relatively easy - but exposed.The views toward Whirlpool and Fryatt keep improving as we get higher on the ridge.Oh yeah! This is fun stuff - just don't slip.Looking across the bottom of the east ridge.Mounts Brown and Hooker show up - I think this is probably the best view I've ever had of these two mountains.Looking towards Brown and Hooker again.Scrambling terrain to the shoulder.A view back along the east ridge.Another view of the terrific exposure down to Cavell Lake far below.Mount Fryatt is still one of my favorite 11,000ers and Rockies peaks due to it's gorgeous surroundings and fun climbing on the SW face.Nice alpine meadows, looking back where we came from.The east ridge is low 5th class terrain.Another pano off the ridge looking south at Fryatt and Brown, Hooker and many others.A view back along the east ridge.Dramatic views into the Tonquin Valley, Oldhorn on the right and Throne on the left.We are delighted to be down the south bowl and off the mountain finally!Exposed free solo'ing on the ridge.Looking back along the summit ridge and over Cavell Lake.
