Biking up a surreal landscape along the Ghost River with a very bright moon providing any light we might still needThe moon rises over Mount Aylmer.Looking back at one of the numerous river crossings as day breaks dramatically around us.Gazing far up the Ghost River valley towards the 3162m high Mount Aylmer.Nearing the turnoff to the Malamute Valley.The very impressive south aspect of Castle Rock with the summit catching early morning sun.Starting up the Malamute Valley with our peak rising far above.The turnoff towards the Fang & Fist ice climbs and also an alternate approach to the west ridge of Devil's Head.Interesting rock patterns.Soaring rock buttresses coming off Poltergeist Peak to the left as we start up a narrowing Malamute Valley.In the canyon.There are many of these sublime little falls along Claw Creek. Almost every one of them has to be bypassed on either the right or left side.There are many of these sublime little falls along Claw Creek.

It makes me wonder if our route would even be possible earlier in the year?
