After pleasant hike in forest with occasional view and night in Lower Fryatt Valley CG we reached Headwall CG and set up camp /with Headwall Falls in view permanently from tents/. Sunday afternoon after "excruciatingly steep scramble" to S.Vallance Hut we explored meadows and basin above it. Basin is surrounded by crowd of sharp glaciated peaks /Christie, Brussels, Three Blind Mice, Xerxes, Olympus, Unnamed, Bellanger,Fryatt/. I already hiked a little in my life but i could not remember many places so spectacular and impressive as this one. Bill found route to get close to falls so we did this bonus too. We hiked down in one day/seeing black bear/. Thanks everyone for participation,help and patience. Great group again. 55 km, 1100 m el.gain. Bob-Janet, Bill-Susan, Karen-Alicja, John-IVAN.
