Resplendent living up to her name!Looking north over Anne-Alice, the Mural Glacier and Gendarme Mountain towards the obvious bulk of Mount Chown.Looking back from the glacier with Anne-Alice, Rearguard, Tatei Ridge and Extinguisher Tower from L to R.A beautiful world of snow, rock and ice. The Mousetrap at left with The Dome, Kain Face, Robson Cirque and Robson to the right of it.Mike skis down under the Mousetrap and Mount Robson.Great views of the Mousetrap at left leading up to The Dome. The Roof at upper left and Robson towering above everything else.Scoping our line down the steepest and most exposed (to icefall) part of the descent. You can just make our our switchbacks below.Stunning views to the west from near the RR col.The Kain Face was tempting Ben and I all day... Already some ice patches too.Remembering the grind up Rearguard the day before. Anne-Alice at left.Can't get enough of this view!Don't underestimate the final slopes of Resplendent. It's still around 400 meters elevation gain from the col and it's steep and exposed in places.Gorgeous views back down the Robson Glacier and our approach.Ben leads up the ramp through the crevasses and seracs opposite the Mousetrap which is clearly visible at right.Looking west to the Premier Range - also called the Cariboo MountainsSummit view to the south towards Clemenceau.A clear sky over Mount Robson from camp.Mount Robson catches alpine glow as an ice avalanche thunders down the Robson Cirque in the foreground!There are some surprisingly steep rolls on the summit ridge of Resplendent.
