If you had soloed it it would have been be a townsend solitaire instead of a boiled goose for two.
Where's the line on your first pic?

So thats why it took a couple of bivies - full tilt the whole way! spectacular. Whats the approach like?
Are you on some Sarah Palin climbing team or something? It seems like you pump out a new route once a week or so.

It's one of the easiest approaches in the Chugach. Two miles on a groomed cross country ski trail then about five miles up the frozen river. Seven miles total with zero bushwacking and maybe 150 feet of elevation gain. Takes a few hours depending on conditions.
