I love the photos LeeLau. It looks like you had lots of walking to do though. What you need is a herd of huskies to pull you up those hills!

Thanks all. It's not often that you get a sustained bout of January high-pressure. It was cold but clear for 5 days.

LeeLau,
Great pics !
What set-up are you both using? Dynastar 8800 & Tankers with freerides?
|
|
|
|
|
|
You know it makes sense.
|
DB - I used 180 Kneissl Tankers with Freerides - heavy but necessary for the variable conditions.
Jon used 188 Dynastar Legend Pros with Freeride Pluses.

LeeLau, ........ really great posts & photos ......
- this area is on my priority list for a couple of years & I am very impressed with your weblink
I am seriously looking to put in a season there - maybe 2008/2009 and this is really great info.
How often do you tour there.....?
....hope your 'hut' is anchored down ...... it looks as if it could fly.....!
Any ideas on the origins of the names Overlord glacier & mountain .....?
Have they any connection to the 1944 invasion of Europe ...?

Bernard - good question. I dont know the origin of the name.
These mountains are part of a chain that's done often as a three day traverse called the Spearhead Traverse. Its done also in one day - see here by my wife http://www.leelau.net/2006/spearheadmar1206/spearheadtraversemar1206.htm
My plan would be too do a multi day and camp at places. I would climb and ski peaks from those places. When you get closer to planning let me know - check out Whistler alpine guides bureau too for guided trips there
