Conor overlooking Lake Agnes. We quickly hiked up the trail from the parking lot, getting here in under an hour. It just ment that I took no pictures ;)

Lake Agnes trail, devils thumb, and Mt Whyte in the back. The col we're aiming for is on the skyline right.

Conor taking in the view.

At the back of Lake Agnes now. Mt Niblock above Conor.. our trail is further to the back, up the scree cone, up the cliffband, into the upper bowl and upto the col. From there we should be able to access Niblock and Whyte.

The landscape is pretty.

Looking back towards Lake Agnes. On the right is a trail that ascends the beehive and leads up to Devil's thumb.

Time to helmet up as we get into looser territory. We paused here for a bit and the mosquitoes came out of the bushes to greet us.

Getting closer to the scree cone. Trail's good so far.

Ascending the scree cone. The waterfall cliff band is approaching.

At the top of the scree cone as we approach the waterfall cliffband. Slight bit of routefinding here, but it was marked with cairns so it wasn't too bad.

As we approached the waterfalls, a Mountain goat popped out and wandered over towards our left. I guess it took me a while to get my camera out as he's far away by the time I took the photo.

Back to business.. making our way through the cliff bands.

Not too bad.

Next ..

Looking back towards Lake Agnes as we gain altitude.

In the upper bowl looking back. Terrain was still good, rocks on snow and it wasn't too slippery or steep yet.

The route heads up there underneath Mt Niblock. As we get closer, the trail keeps on leading us on.
