when ge got to the top we commenced to climb to the east with the idea of trying to see where we could get down but everywhere it apparently was an overhanging cliff that we were on and the valley between was far from inviting, being strewn with falling rocks which are constantly coming down from the top. I heard six or seven and saw one or two. Another thing - we could see no easy route up. I saw one quite difficult route, possibly needing the help of a piton or two in order to get into a couloir which went straight up under the V of the snow. The other route I could not follow very well but I don't think it would prove easy. It was the southeastern arete. I estimate that under we got to an altitude approximately 250 meters from the top. We returned to camp and spent the afternoon trying to work out an alternative but as there did not seem to be any we came back to Scree Valley camp yesterday, getting in about ten oclock. At this time I hold little hope of finding a feasible route up in the time allowed. We intend to go to the north of Wilhelmina and see if the couloir on the north face is climbable and if not, then to try and pick up Kremer's route. I do not remember if there are two ridges starting from the main peak itself, one going west, the other southwest. If there are, then Kremer's route probably is still practicable, though whether we can do it in the time is another question. If there are not two ridges in a westerly direction, then the mountain has shifted and changed so that there is no feasible route up. That is only my opinion, based on what little I have seen. I don't think feel that it is worth interrupting the collecting greatly to climb Wilhelmina, which has no scientific value as far as we are concerned. What are your views on the subject? With best of luck to you both, I am, (Unsigned)
