Looking out across the Carson Valley at the Pine Nut Mountains.  Think Lyon (which I climbed last week) might be on the left side of that ridge.

Approaching the ridgetop snowfield from above.  Hadn't seen that cornice on the left side when I had traversed it.  Made a note to keep to the right side.

About midway down the slope.  Managed to avoid the snow until the very bottom portion.   Charity Valley is the clearing in the center of the shot.
