Amazing views confronted us as we hit the alpine meadows beyond the fifth lake.Looking over at Fryatt (L) and Fryatt SW2 (C) and "Fat Bastard" (R) before we start the traverse above Divergence Lake.Finally breaking through the headwall, Fryatt towering over Eric here.Looking back over the fifth, fourth and third Geraldine Lakes.The terrain to the waterfall draining the third lake is already less traveled than around the first lake.After the fifth lake we went through carpets of wild flowers to reach the alpine meadows beyond.Looking at our bivy from above. I put rocks around mine (left) because of the 40 foot drop to the lake right by it!A small waterfall along the way to the alpine meadows above the fifth lake.We take a break before heading for the sliver of snow in the background (first one - barely visible) which we'll follow through a break in the lower cliff band.At the Fryatt Bivy.Looking back to the 5th lake and the small stream feeding into it.Gorgeous Upper Divergence Lake.The alpine meadows are a magical place.Looking ahead to the flatter bowl between Fryatt (L) and Fat Bastard (C). This area is understandably heaven for goats!We had to cross this outlet stream to the 5th lake.A wet trail to the first lake.Looking back at the fourth lake.This is the painful side-hill traverse that brings you under the final headwall to access the SW bowl / face of Fryatt.
