Three day ascent of Mount Cline’s SW ridge. We got to the bivy at midnight the first night. Summit day went smoothly, but it was tiring so we stayed an extra night.

The first notch was mostly easy, but the second notch was more serious; an awkward rappel on ascent and a challenging climb with exposure on return.
