The long walk back.

Looking back at Amery from the south end of the Monchy Icefield.

Looking into the Amery Creek valley from the traverse to Monchy. Mount Amery on the right.

Eric enjoying the views.

Still a long way to go, but a glorious day to do it on!

Re-crossing the Amery Glacier back to our bivy and approach track.

Eric starts the traverse to Monchy from the summit of Hooge Peak.

Mount Saskatchewan on the left and Willerval in the foreground with it's newly bared east face!

Hooge and Monchy.

Most of the text is faded beyond recognition but the date and name of the summit is still readable.

Impressive icefall off the Monchy icefield into Amery Creek.

Which bump is it?! Oppy on the left, Alexandra at center left..

Finally back at the Amery col - our bivy is across this small glacier on the far shoulder.

Eric makes his way along the ridge Hooge and Monchy on the upper right with Lyells just peaking over the col between them.

Mount Columbia shows up beside Monchy.

The first people to lay eyes on this register since it was placed in 1948! (By F.D. Ayres, J.C. Oberlin, D.M. Woods)

Eric writes a new register for Monchy Mountain.
