Descending the ramp to the icefall below. We'll go left and avoid the obvious crevasse field below.Looking back at our ski tracks descending the trench with Mount Columbia peeking over the edge.Note the perfect intersection of tracks on the glacier below from us and a group who did Snow Dome from a camp on the Saskatchewan Glacier.Charlton and Unwin at left with Mary Vaux and Replica at foreground right. Endless Chain marches off to the left.A last glance back from where the glacier was in 1925.High on the summit ridge of Androlumbia with gorgeous, clear views over the ice fields towards Mount Columbia (C) and Snow Dome (R).Huge Mount Bryce.Looking south from the summit of Androlumbia at Forbes, Lyells, Alexandra and Bryce.Huge blocks of snow and ice on Snow Dome's southwest flanks.The HMG Ultra Mid II is only 499 grams but is the perfect icefields shelter even in strong winds.Mount Forbes is the highest peak in Banff National Park at 11,851ft.Ben enjoys a late lunch after ascending Snow Dome.An incredible view of South and North Twin Peaks.Vern skis down - what a blast!! Photo by Steven Song.Steven points out that we're probably on a cornice.Camp and the biffy as I wait for Steven and Ben to come back down Snow Dome.Looking back at our escape ramp.The Chess Group rises behind Steven and Ben with the Adamants at distant left.There are large holes on Androlumbia. Many smaller ones too. Bryce is always trying to steal the show on this end of the Icefields.The AA icefall at left with Andromeda rising at center.
