"We had overcast weather on day 1 up Panarama a d into the col between Genetian and Panorama . We spent the night in the col and saw that it was still overcast but clearing. Our goal was to get into the Sphinx basin and climb both Castle towers and the Sphinx. We got castletowers but not Sphinx. We summited Genetian around noon and headed on to Polemonium. It was down from Genetian then back up Polemonium . It was a great trip,

"We spent August 2 and 3 in the Burton Hut on Sphinx Bay near the snout of the glacier. The weather was heavy over cast on the 3rd so we didnot try the Sphinx. On the 3rd it was time to head home. We climbed 3000 feet up the steep slopes up to the ridge leading to Polemonium. After summit ting Polemonium we followed the ridge top to Genitan Peak and onto Panarama and down through Taylor meadows and the parking lot. On the way down Andrew andI I Saw a helicopter flying in the area. It flew over the area for over an hour. Andrew then announced that he felt they were looking for us as he told his wife we would be back in 2 days. I had clearly told him it would be a 3 day expedition. Later 2 rangers approached us and advised they were looking for us . It was embarrassing and I was disappointed that Andrew had told his wife it was a 2 day trip. " — andrewbrintnell1 • Aug 4, 1983
