Tazim from the top of Cory Pass. (She's lifting the brim of her hat...nice Muslim girls don't make obscene gestures! :-) The initial part of the ascent was up the other side of the hump behind her left elbow. We were a bit concerned by ominous grey clouds looming over the peaks at the beginning of the hike with such an elevated and exposed destination, but the weather continually improved on the ascent and it was beautiful at the pass -- quite sunny, though chilly, but with very little wind for such a high, narrow col. (The lack of wind was quite unusual, if the guide books are to be believed.)
