Sunrise on the Bells
The Bellcord still has a touch of snow
We did a touch of bushwhacking in the willows after leaving the trail.

Looking back to PT13140
Len Shoemaker from PT13180B
There was some scrambling and spicy down climbing on loose terrain between PT13180B's summit and it's saddle with Len Shoemaker
Len Shoemaker's SW slopes were very loose - definitely a zone to be careful on. Would have been hell to down climb
Len Shoemaker's SW slopes - not overly friendly
The Bells from Len Shoemaker
Some easy 3 scrambling on solid rock down Len Shoemaker's north ridge
We descended to the basin from the north saddle
Until next time
