The ridge is actually unnamed, but I have to call it something, and since the ridge is between Kishinena Ridge
and Akamina Ridge, I decided to call it East Kishinena Ridge. The ridge has four high points, with the second
one being the highest and closest to Akamina Ridge. In this picture, we see Blair taking a break at Wall Lake.
It's hard to believe, but the following weekend, we were skiing in here.

|
Once we got over Bennett Pass, the trail continues up to the NW shoulder of Akamina Ridge. This picture is taken
from that spot, looking down at a small unnamed tarn. I suppose I could name that one too, but let's not get carried
away.
|
|
This is Blair standing on the NW shoulder of Akamina Ridge. Doesn't he look like he's enjoying the nice rainy weather.
|
|
From the NW shoulder of Akamina Ridge, we dropped down to a col between Akamina Ridge and East Kishinena Ridge.
Here we see Blair at that col.

|
This is taken from below the summit of East Kishinena Ridge, looking at the third and forth high points.
In the background, you can see Long Knife Peak.
|
|
After going up and over the summit, we dropped down toward the third summit. We got about half way to the third
high point before turning around and exploring the lower valley. This is Blair heading toward the third summit.
Long Knife Peak is in the background.

|
This is back at the col between Akamina Ridge and East Kishinena Ridge, looking at Long Knife Peak. Blair and I
went down into the valley shown in the picture. There is a trail that goes that way, and we later discovered that
it leads to the Nanatuk, which is hidden behind the ridge on the right of the picture.
|
|
The weather started to clear, and I could sort of get a picture of the summit of East Kishinena Ridge.
|
|
This was taken from the NW Shoulder of Akamina Ridge, looking at the route up Long Knife Peak. The Nanatuk is engulfed
in clouds, just behind the ridge on the right.

|
This is Blair standing at on the NW shoulder of Akamina Ridge with more of Akamina Ridge in the background.
