Antarctic View Peak

 Sorry, few pictures and no views of the peak. It was a cloudy day with no chance of the peak showing itself. We climbed the peak on our way from Hans Hut to Pitchler's Perch.
 Climbing steep snow to access the upper ridge.
Laron 'goofing around' right below the peak

Calliope Peak

View of Calliope Peak from the ridge of Cantata Peak (the approach to Calliope Peak is not from there though!)

 Laron at the summit
The descent was a bit treacherous due to the fresh snow on loose rocks. But we finally made it to the tent!
