View of the first summit just before reaching Consolation Lakes.
Panorama Ridge
June 19, 2004
It's a slog going up the gully but it's worth the climb because of the views. After hiking up the trail dinah and I tried to cross the stream too soon. It's better to continue on a ways where logs and rocks make it easier to cross. After summiting we headed to the east peak but there was too much snow so we descended the nearest gully. |

just before reaching Consolation Lakes.
We made good progress in
the firm snow in the gully.
A huge cornice follows much of the ridge.
Approaching the summit.
After reaching the first
summit, we continued along the ridge to the second
summit. We made it to the
pinnacles (above) where it became difficult and
exposed. Best to do in dry
conditions. We headed back down from here.
Cute bird, such skinny legs!
One of the Consolation Lakes. We followed a crude shoreline trail back.
