Description: From a Mt. Forbes Buttress not far below the final summit ridge, 2 US Climbers (Michigan or Wisconsin, IIRC) are still ascending on the West Ridge (Normal) route as we descend, having had lunch on the summit. We had started later than them, but about 4:00 am, and had passed them at the bergschrund (we were using a running belay as opposed to their static). In fact, they ended up spending the night on the mountain near the rocks you see at the bottom of the face (their tent was at the bivy site at the toe of the North Glacier).
