Photo Once again are hiking enters the rocky terrain... by Jim Griffin

Our hike is now roughly 85% of the way done, and once again, our hike enters the rocky terrain beneath Mt. Schaefer. There are also a couple of snow patches ahead that we must briefly cross on our way to All soul's prospect. This shot also shows us the terrain we crossed to reach Wiwaxy gap, I've shown in the variant a rough trail of the way to Wiwaxy gap,(I believe the switchbacks were longer, but the final part was very steep), the trail down from Wiwaxy gap going to Lake Oesa, and the trail around Yukeness ledge. Keep in mind, a person would be just a small speck on the other side of the lake. Also to note, it is starting to get cooler as the clouds move in. Scanned negative.

The variant shows somewhat of the trail we've taken. Lake Oesa sits out of view away from the pointing arrow. This should give somewhat of an idea of the tough hike up to Wiwaxy gap. The trail work is simply amazing at this location as the trail have been placed on the sides of the mountains in many spots. my variant of the photo
