Sunday April 10, 2016, To the Mons Hut, and Division

The giant ice cave that our group found in 2003.

From a saddle near the southernmost peak of Division we had a superb view of Forbes, which Katie, I, and David Nebel climbed in August, 1999.

Bob enjoys the clear day on the Mons Icefield. To his right in the rear is the col that starts the Mons rappel we did in 2003, and the snow-covered Cambrai Mountain that we skied to the summit of the day after this one.
