We awoke to a relatively warm and sunny morning – the skies were still clear, we could see both of "The Kichas” and it wasn’t windy. After breakfast, Mike and I packed for another day of climbing, hiking and digging and awaited our zodiac ride to shore.
We landed nearer to the direct southern end of Ryponkicha this day and while the climb up was a bit less steep, it was also a bit longer. After "fox proofing” our life jackets and boots by placing them inside a large, thick plastic bag and piling beach boulders on top of it, we began our ascent.
