Congratulations!Truly enjoyed reading your report with its details and writing style as well as your thoughts about your climb. I don't know your Dad's age but special kudos to him also; he sounds like a worthy SPer!!!

Great adventure!I am impressed by the 13 hour round trip in these conditions, especially by your father's performance. I've done the Mountaineer's route many times in the same conditions. I usually stick to the rocks to the right of the gully. After the notch I found it much safer to climb up and down on the rocks on the right side.
Great photos and inspiring TR.

Re: Great adventure!Thank you. Afterwards I figured out where the alternate route is. Instead of going up the gully to the left you can traverse straight across the slope and meet the ridge a bit lower down.
