One of the ways up Blue Lake Pass. On my first attempt I went about 3\/4 of the way up and was faced with having to make some dicey moves to continue. After some initial moves the potential fall looked bad so I retreated down a ways, moved to the right and found the terrain much safer. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
