First Ascent of the Northeast Ridge of Mt. Vancouver in 1975

We slept the night after the summit, then started down the following night. The weather had gone bad, with some fresh snow. This is Bart preparing to start down. Because of the weather, I don't have pictures of the descent. The snow was soft, and some of the cornices had fallen since our ascent. The gullies had clearly experienced much snow/ice/rock fall.
