Indidentally, the Alpinist (#16) features Irene's Arete in its "First Ascent" section, as told by Irene Beardsley (formerly Ortenberger).

Renny Jackson took her back on it when she was 69 years old. Cool.

This is really so sad, but I ended up never going anywhere for the weekend. Life caught up and got the better of my climbing time. Still, I am very grateful for everyone's contribution. I will use these ideas for my next great adventure (after my honeymoon!!).
