Wedge Mountain Ascent (a peak, a peak, finally a peak!)

11-12 July 2012

Wedgemount Lake with a view to Wedge Mountain (snow covered to the left) and with posing marmot.

Warm belly on hot stone, life seems pretty good.

Preparing dinner with a view.                                                                         

Sleeping in the hut. It is difficult to get the wife out of the warm sleeping bag!

We started from the hut at 04.30 in the morning. At around 05.30, the sun set the mountains on fire while we started to walk up the glacier.

Wedge Mountain early morning on a beautiful day.

View down the glacier from the Arete Pass before making the final ascent up the Arete Ridge to the Wedge Mountain.

Assessing the route from the Arete Pass to the Arete Ridge and finally to the peak of Wedge Mountain to the left.                                    

Final ascent. The snow was deep and heavy – hard work!!!                        

Taking a break and enjoying the view. Steep slope!                 

Wedge Mountain peak!                                         

Tired…but happy!                                                                                                    

Exhausted….but happy!                                                                                          

Going down. Look, there are the skiis waiting for us!

Skiing down the glacier and looking back at Wedge Mountain.                                                   

The wife…..not an olympic champion on the skiis!

Beautiful colours at Wedgemount Lake.            

Finally down! And just back from the hairdresser.                                        

Last but not least: Ready to go down the final 1100 m with enormous rugsacks.

This is why the wife is calling him the YAK!
