he terrain on the SW face is continuously threatening to kick you off - very careful downclimbing is necessary.

Little ledges are the key to working your way down the face, traversing back and forth breaks the many cliff bands.

Looking back up at the summit of Lunette Peak.

Descending the neverending SW face.

Incredible scenery from the summit of Lunette. The views of Gloria and Marvel Lakes are better from Lunette than from Assiniboine.

More careful steps.

It's much darker than this photo makes it appear here. I have no more photos after this one - a glace back at the massive SW slopes of the big "A" and Lunette.

Kev descends under a steep and convoluted section of the SW face.

There are many of these small but extremely loose cliff bands to negotiate coming down Lunette.

Kev descends the scree bench beneath Lunette's summit block - we're almost lower than Eon and Aye finally!

Kev works his way down along the gully separating Assiniboine and Lunette.

This stream was so refreshing and welcome!

Back at our packs after descending the summit block on Lunette, Kev adjusts his boots for the long and painful descent still ahead of us.

Views towards the east face of Eon from Lunette Peak.

Lunette Lake and our exit valley are far below.

There was running water on route, thanks to melting snow.

Interesting route finding by Kev! Why go over the cliffs when you can walk through them instead?
