The second half of our route is a skirting of the southern flank of Sentinel, westward along the edge of the Palisades, a three mile row of cliff faces hundreds of feet high. To our south (and below us) lay Ikatan Bay, a busy fishing area in the summer and the entrance to False Pass.
The smooth tundra slopes that fall from the mountains are often interrupted by deep ravines. Crossing them usually presents us with a challenge. Here though, Jen is brushing up on her high alpine raiding and defensive skills. Looks like I'll be in good hands.
Looking east, the peninsula runs back towards the rest of Alaska. The waters to the right lead immediately out to the Pacific.
