One of my favorite peaks so far. A looong bike ride followed by a difficult scramble. http://www.fresh-oxygen.com/vern/scrambles/fisher/fisher.html

Looking west towards Mount Denny from the ascent slope of Fisher.

Raf climbs the steep grass slopes that lead up to the brown, dirt pinnacle.

JW down climbs the nose of the dirt / dinner plate pinnacle that abuts the NW ridge of Fisher directly ahead of us here.

Raf down climbs dinner plate shale / dirt on the nose of the abutment ridge.

Looking back at JW and the shale pinnacle we just down climbed. Raf is just finishing up his turn on the pinnacle.

Opal Range peaks including, Evan Thomas East, Hood, Packenham, Evan-Thomas, Potts and Denny (L to R).

Finally on the NW ridge proper!

Looking straight down over the nose of the crux. I moved to my left here, rather than to the right.

Swinging over the nose and then immediately left (north) I came to this ledge. This is looking down the nose over the Kane route down.

Raf descends the nose following my route which swung north and then back south near the bottom.

Raf down climbs another section of the ridge.

As you can clearly see - the terrain on the NW ridge is *not* easy scrambling!
