We finally get our first good view of the pass! (It’s the snow-filled saddle in the center.) Our route countours around the talus ridge toward the right, crosses the final valley to the base of the mountain on the right (Peak 5638), then we climb the rocky patch of the scree pile at its base (near right side, in the sun) before traversing across the snow slope (in bright sun), cutting under the dark rock lip (just right of center), then heading straight up to the pass on steep snow and rock for the rest of the way. It looks close, but it will take us five more hours to get there!
