Route Climbed: NNE Ridge Date Climbed: 9/17/2005Great climb, but very cold. Probably best to do without ropes. I don't think I could have belay anyone. Lost feeling in my hands. The route was not that hard to follow.

Route Climbed: Eagle Face Date Climbed: July 3, 20053 of us (Alex, Olga and rinat) Attempted to climb thre EF by 5.6 variation to avid the snow/ice in the chinmney and the slabs. Ended up 60 ft short of the ridge under the false summit. Due to the late time, the group retreated and spent the night on the ledge and returned to the base camp at the Finger Lake next day. Good rock and excellent peak. Very enjoyalble climb.
