Mount Fay, North Face. Laurie Skreslet and Lanny Johnson in July made a very difficult new route of nine pitches on the north face of Mount Fay. The first lead had to overcome an overhanging ice bulge, which Skreslet led without aid. Not knowing that the climb had been done, Raymond Jotterand and Pierre Sassier repeated the climb on August 1. A short while afterwards Yvon Chouinard and Dale Bard made the third ascent. (Information from Mountain.)
