Route Notes BC as planned southeast of large lake (lake is just south of point 5400m on Schneider map). Abandoned because 1) no equipment ice screws and pitons, 2) strong wind, 3) deep snow, 4) already 4:30 pm at high point so no time on 17th. Climbed in deep snow - skis would have been very useful.
