Arriving at the crowded trailhead at Bunny Flat.  Sergeant's Ridge and Thumb Rock visible at the top left of photo

The USS Otherprise arrives at base camp.

A motley crew, to say the least.

Getting ready at the cars.

One last obligatory trailhead shot.  Our route is visible behind us.  We ascend the snowfield at left, and make camp on the last horizontal rock band (Lake Helen).  From there, we ascend up the headwall, to the right of the heart-shaped rock, then up through the red banks at the top of the headwall.
