The previous photo explained a grave "compass error" on my part. That led to this weird posture, in
which I am beseeching the Powers That Be for guidance in finding the correct route up the east side
of the mountain. After promising to post pictures (to PBase) aggressively, I was rewarded with Divine
Topographic Understanding, which prompted me to follow the gully behind me to the summit ridge.
Joe Tripod, my personal assistant in the field, easily made
this photo a reality, but could offer no directional help.
