Views off the east face across the ridge towards Beehive Mountain are very respectable now that the smoke has started to clear off a bit.Wietse on the summit of Mount Lyall with pretty good views to the north.Looking north over O'Rourke and Pierce towards Courcelette and Cornwell in the far distance.It's a gorgeous afternoon up here and I think Phil is glad he didn't go home after just Beehive Mountain.Looking back at our approach and Beehive Mountain as we cross a boulder field on route to the NE shoulder of Lyall.Amazingly the smoke is clearing again! Lyall Tarn visible at left along with Mount Gass, O'Rourke, Farquhar and Etherington marching north along the Great Divide.Heading for the east face of Lyall from the NE shoulder.Phil and I enjoyed some fun moderate terrain up small slabs and cliffs while Wietse was on terrain to the right of us here.Wietse and I will bivy at this lovely tarn tonight.Starting up the east face of Lyall.Great late day lighting as we descend the east face of Mount Lyall.Looking over the lake and our little bivy (R) with our next objective - Mount Gass - off in the distance at left.Mount Gass looks easy via the south slopes (red line) - the only question is how to get there from the east side of the Divide?One more view of the tarn with Mount Lyall rising at right.The tranquil Lyall Tarn with Mount Lyall's NE face looming high above.The meadows were on absolute fire with fall colors in the vegetation.
