Thanks Dru. If I go back I would like to climb the ridge of Moby Dick, which is supposedly a grade IV, but almost all 4th class with exposure to the many-thousand foot Ohno wall on the other side (I believe there were some recent first ascents on that wall last year). We faced some pretty miserable weather most of the time and were tent-bound.

Another view into the Nemo group from higher up. Tremendous glacial recession in this area, you have to climb on some very polished rock to get to the toe of the glaciers.

...on one of the climbs in the area, "the Tadpole" a 5.3 A1 pillar (but you'd be hard-pressed to follow any of the route descriptions)

...looking the other direction into the Nemo group from our camp, that waterfall is just around the corner. This location would be quite an undertaking by foot.

here's one photo but it doesn't show much. This was on the approach to where I camped above Houston Creek, above the waterfall. The peak on the right is Proteus. Most routes in the area are 5.7 or so, but some are walk-ups. Many require glacier crossings. We found the Putnam times to be a little on the short side.
