Ben and Steven were the 2nd rope team.At our Catacombs Meadows bivy.A raging Athabasca River - thankfully with a bridge over it at this point.Ben looks impressed with the loose descent gully. :)Under some seracs.Hiking beneath the impressive bulk of Catacombs Mountain.Gong Glacier at left with Smythe, Thorington Tower, GEC, Mushroom Peak, Diadem, Woolley, Engelhard and East Stutfield from L to R.Liam on some loose terrain - you can see the two Catacombs Lakes far beneath now and Fortress Mountain on the right.Liam and Eric crest the summit of Catacombs Mountain.Loose and very steep terrain demanded careful attention with 5 of us ascending the gully.Everything we touched, moved or came crashing down! We had to stay close to be safe.Just under the summit bump, waiting for Eric to take photos. This is the view west, north and east.Looking west and south off the summit of Catacombs. Fortress is the mountain in the foreground with Quincy behind it. Our bivy valley in front.Christie on extreme left with the Kerkeslin at center.Gazing over the summit of Fortress Mountain towards the Chaba Icefield.
