P 8815 and P 8798, Niut Range. On January 29 Kreig McBride and I made the first winter ascents of P 8815 and P 8798. The latter lies east of the former and both are due west of Tatlayoko’s northern end. We climbed from an igloo camp in the basin immediately north, culminating a three-day snowshoe approach. We ascended a 1000-foot couloir and boulder-hopped to the col between the peaks. The east peak was climbed via snow gullies and ridges on the southwest side and the west peak by its eastern ridge. Both peaks had been previously ascended from the col by helicopter-borne survey parties and from the lake by McBride and David Shannon in the summer of 1971.
