Chute Shoot

We veer off and see the Notch above us. From here, my belaying gloves come into use. Bill will continue to slog with his sticks, while I will pull myself up the steep part by the rocks. Stella alternates between rock-hopping and slithering upward along the sand, trying to avoid clusters of small, loose, rocks that slide underfoot.
