Steven points the way! We're all pretty psyched at this point.Caution is paramount on the summit ridge. A slip - or more likely a crampon snagging trip - could pull the entire party downSteven and the huge east face of North Twin.Ben skis down towards West Twin (out of sight to the left) with Twin's Tower looming above.Looking at (L to R), Alberta, Twin's Tower and North Twin, Stutfield, Kitchener and Snow Dome from the summit of South Twin.The Columbia Glacier dumps into the lower trench just above Columbia Lake.Believe it or not, people ski down this face! Ok - one person did it anyway... (Trevor Sexsmith).Tusk and Clemenceau are high on my "hit list".We traversed on the west side of the ridge wherever it made sense.The easy upper shoulder of the north ridge - note West Twin just left and below us here.Columbia Lake.Here we go! This is a nice wide section - the narrow ones were even more fun.The Adamants show up clearly on this gorgeously clear morning.Vern on the summit of South Twin - finally!The exposure down the east face of South Twin is severe.Leaving camp.Ben poses on the way down the Athabasca ramp.
