Going for the ascent of Workman peak

First part of ascent, to the ridge, everything was ok and snow solid till about 11(12) a.m. - for future, even descent should have been done by 12 a.m. - otherwise the snow was wet and unstable and virtually flowing down over the ice under it

First part of ascent, to the ridge, slope about 45-50 degrees (?)

Second part of the ascent - the peak part above the ridge, this part was a bit more steep than the previous part to the ridge, slope about 50-60 degrees (?). Alltogether, 2 ice axes per person and at about 8 ice screws per group were necessary.
