25 Oct 98 - To climb Stanley Peak, walk along the official trail to Stanley
Glacier. After the 5 km trail ends, continue in the same direction to obtain the glacier. Once
you climb onto the glacier, you will be faced with a 70 meter (230 feet) wall sloped at about 40 degrees.
If you go further to the right, it's much steeper, going up to about 70 degrees.
Once you climb to the top of that, you will see the summit, but in order to get to it, you must cross
many cravasses. On this day, Chris and I were only practicing our cravasse rescue and ice climbing
techniques, and had no intention of actually summiting. We came across this two man party, which
was coming back down from the upper glacier. According to them, many of the ice bridges which
crosses the various cravasses had fallen, thus making a trip to the summit very difficult.
They did not make it (to the summit that is).

25 Oct 98 - Here we see the two guys (previously mentioned) repelling
down the wall. They were using a 50 meter rope, so they had to put a screw in half way
down the wall and repell from there.
