Outstanding thread, TFPU to all. Great photos, articles and info.
Anyone know of a formation, or spire, called "The Fin"? I think it's in Lake Clark National Park, maybe in the vicinity of Chakachamna Lake. Couldn't find on an internet search or Google Earth, but a friend told me about it years ago.
Anyhow, thanks for all the great posts.

What's a word that means something like "gnarly" but is actually a lot gnarlier than that?

Donini and I failed to get to the top of anything from the Cold Sac Glacier through the course of two trips (98 and 2001, I believe).
We actually did some climbing on the second trip. The first one was three weeks of snow camping. But a seriously spectacular place.
