OXO is even visible from the Mosquito Creek (Hostel) parking lot. It's the angled summit left of center in the far distance.Approaching the drainage on the Mosquito Creek trail near the fresh avalanche debris from the winter of 2016.Approaching the drainage on the Mosquito Creek trail near the fresh avalanche debris from the winter of 2016.The creek was surprisingly high as we started up it.Some tricky hiking up the creek to avoid too much sidehilling and wet feet.We decided to ascend the bank to the right and follow light forest instead of sticking right in the creek the whole way.Along the much smaller right hand branch of the creek now. It completely disappeared soon after this photo.Breaking into the hanging valley - the NE peak of Dolomite at center.Looking back down our approach valley with Noseeum at left.Interesting piles of rock and scree litter the mouth of the valley.Our first glimpse of the lovely meadows between Dolomite (L) and OXO (C).Wietse hikes the lovely valley towards the pass - note the fall colors.Looking across the valley at Phil who is dwarfed by the terrain.Looking back down the valley towards Noseeum and Hector.Wietse is dwarfed by Dolomite's NE outlier.
