Snowdome off in the distance is visible as you descend the ridge. Andromeda is on the right hand side.

Awful photo, but this is a good picture of where the descent goes only a few meters to the right of the Andromeda glacier through a band of rocks. This same descent can be used to ascend Mount Athabasca via the northwest ridge, a much easier route.

From the highway, you can make out the whole route.
