Scrambling up the ridge toward Mount Daniel
Spade and Venus Lakes, Rainier in the far distance
Some more fun scrambling. We avoided this section on the way down by cutting across the top of the Hyas Creek Glacier.
Bivy site?
The first view of all three summits - West, Middle and East peak of Mount Daniel.

Hyas Creek Glacier and Cathedral Rock. Mount Stewart in the distance.
Maybe it wouldn't have taken all day if we didn't stop to climb every rock spire...
A tempting spur off the East peak of Mount Daniel. Next up is the North Ridge of Mount Stuart (background) - 15 pitches 5.7 - 5.9
