Terminal Traverse

Brian doesn't get out as much as he used to. Kids will do that. But when he does get out he needs more than just a single day in the alpine. He needs an "Alpine Weekend"! So we decided on the Terminal Traverse with a bivy at Perley Rock. Brenda and I had done this trip a few years ago and remembered as being a good climb but quite a long day. And that it proved to be! I think we'd hit the 12 hour mark by the time we got back to the cars. The South Ridge Ridge of South Terminal is a very nice scramble with several sections of low 5th and an airy traverse on the west side where we used the rope in earnest. The descent from the summit needs a short rappel and then there's a tedious scramble down and back up to North Terminal. We descended via the south facing snow slope between North and West Terminal back to bivy site. Full photo set here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/LPSqFYx0f6i6qKd53
