Palisades Glacier

This is stitch of three photos I took in late summer/early fall 2004. The U-notch is visible just left of the horizontal snow band (ner the center of the photo). The V0notch is laft of that. This my first time on ice (thanks John!!). The U-notch was melted out on the right side, making it about a 70 degree slope (instead of the advertised 40 degrees). We generally stuck to the right side of the climb, but higher up, we had to traverse left, which required a bit of simul-climbing.
