The five Lyells all visible now.We've already come up and down Christian Peak's south ridge (L) and turned north. Now we're trudging towards the Three LyellsLooking back down the main Lyell Glacier at Mount Forbes.Inching closer.4/5 of the Lyell peaks in front of us, slowly but surely getting larger and larger.Finally getting close enough to Ernest (L) and Edward (R) that they are looking like real peaks.On a steeper slope to the Ernest / Edward col. The 'schrund visible just ahead of Steven here with obvious crevasses to our right.Looking east past Edward - our second of the Lyells.Steeper slopes to the Ernest / Edward col.Spectacular view of Walter Peak, showing why nabbing its summit would have been challenging in the nuclear conditions we hadAlmost at the col, starting to trend climber's left towards Ernest.Spectacular views back down the Lyell Glacier from the Ernest / Edward col with Christian and Walter on the right.
