The tent is at the finger on the left, just past the two land bridges dividing the lakes. Each lake is a mile or so long.

This is the route up to Gannett Peak. There is an alternate route up a small steep glacier that I didn't like either.

This is the rough part of the Gooseneck Glacier. I negotiated the crevices on the way up. I took the rocks on the way down. I didn't like either route.

The boulders were on top of ice! In some places like this, they slide off. Every minute or so, a rock or two would come tumbling down the ice chute.
