Another clearer shot of the ridge (and one of the clearest views I'd see all day). Think thats Peak 6547 along the end of the ridge, but not sure.

The McKinley saddle. Very strong wind here and zero visibility. One would normally have a nice view of Santa Cruz Peak from here. 12/09/2006 10:21 AM

The first part of the 1/2 mile spur to the peak was quite steep, but it leveled out after a hundred yards or so. Stopped to lower the earmuffs on my Seattle Sombrero as the wind was getting quite chilling.
