Mount Indefatigable Slabs, Featuring Joy

Below is a description of the photograph you were looking for, and the circumstances surrounding the photo.

 Photographer: Reid Holmes

Technical: Canon A80; f5, 1/320 sec
Date: 2005.06.19
Vantage Point:
From bottom of scree slope above Hidden Lake

Technical: Canon A80; f5, 1/320 sec

Caption: The steep south slabs of Mount Indefatigable

Story: On our way to climb Mount Joffre Kevin and I were awarded fine views of Indefatigable in the morning light. I chose this photo to upload however as I took it just as the light was reaching the corner that Joy follows up the slabs. The slender sunlit line running left->right on the right third of the darkened slab clearly highlights this popular climb. I wish I had had this photo when I went and climbed 2/3 up the next slab to the right in search of Joy. As such, we found No Joy and wouldn't recommend that slab to anyone (pro ends, descent entertainment ensues).
