Whats going on with the rope in this picture?

bill savored his blessings and stayed put where he was on the summit ridge - i used the toys'r'us rope to have him belay me through that one vaguely sketchy part, then walked over to the summit - no need for the rope on the way back :)

I like the photo of the fella standing on the Hot Rocks. It is amazing how in a photo It looks like the Old Chute is not very steep at all. Having Been Up the old chute and Across the summit ridge last spring, I know it is Pretty steep, and the ridge is "Bracing". Nice photos, Thanks Ivan.
