Poliak Spire, Cathedral Spires, Kichatna Mountains. Chaiki Hara, Hatuyo Kotaki and I were on the Tatina Glacier from July 20 to August 3. Bad weather drove us off the west face of P 7270 on July 27 and off the south rib of P 7133 on July 30, but Hara and I did climb Poliak Spire (7500-foot northeast subpeak of Mount Neveragain) by the east buttress (V, F8) on July 28 and 29. There were 25 pitches. Previous to this we had climbed Mount McKinley.
