Besides goin' up Lyell Canyon,
Here's the ridges:
Lyell right of center, the rockier cone of Maclure right again.
You can see Banner and Ritter on the far left.
L to R,
Amelia Earhart, Lyell, Maclure:
This pic jumbles the order of the traverse,
Lyell is the prominent snowy peak at center and the finish.

At the col left of Amelia Earhart:
She's a Beauty; with broad geometric flanks.
The surrounding basin:
On the way to Maclure & Lyell,
(Gotta' turn left first):
This is from Earhart's Summit.
You can just barely see Tim at the center of foreground.

Looking toward Maclure and Lyell, to the East:
We broke out the 9 mil and some big hexes for Maclure's 4th class:
We left the gas station at 4am,
"Rat Room" guides shack actually,
Stumbled back in at midnight.
It's a long march out!

Tar, I did that exact day, back in '99 or so I always wondered if anybody else had done that car to car in a day. Now I know!
Coolness is!
I put it in the book, for Jaun!

No doubt!
This is why I recommend real boots for peak bagging.
I had a light ax and the Robbins boots allowed a nice stiff kick in the snowfield on Mount Lyell.
Perfunctory, straightforward style of ascent.
Tim on the other hand, had a Ramer self arrest pole and medium weight running shoes; he had to muck around on the edge of the snow while intermittently holding onto the rock. He is mountain wise, and I knew he'd be OK, but he agreed an ax to plunge and stiff boots to kick steps are nice.

Sorry about the quality of all these, but I'm scanning prints or slides that have been collecting dust for 20 years or more.
