Ascending the Illy towards Lookout Mountain.You don't want to get caught in a slide here. The snow was a bit punchy but as you can see, pretty thin.Roped up on the AA Glacier with the AA Col directly ahead and above Ferenc.Looking back down at Ferenc after ditching the 'shoes and rocketing straight up the steep snow slope.As you can see, this is a pretty steep slope. You definitely want stable conditions here and snow is vastly preferable to scree or ice.Ferenc continues to break trail for a while as we get higher up the west face beneath the AA col.At the col.Ferenc is tiny in the huge terrain just above the AA Glacier headwall.Just above the rock bypass to the AA Glacier icefall.Descending alongside the headwall.Scoping out the route for tomorrow on North Twin and Twins Tower.
