Journal. one of the boats & crossed to the fan below the "pass" over to Whittler Creek. The top of the pass was 2000 feet above the lake & went almost straight up. I found it a hard climb. The dropoff at the top was just as bad. Watched a [illegible] marmot for a while in the pass. Took 2 pictures. Heard a marmot also. Dropped down to Whittler Creek. Couldn't locate the shrike next there. Walked on downstream. This valley is much like that with the lake in it except that it lacks the lake. At no narrow, the walls are perpendicular & snow-capped. It's so pretty, if anything it's no narrower than Peter's. Looked up the bank of a young sheep near creek. Couldn't locate the nest of other shrikes on this creek, rounded mountains at end of lake - passed the small lake again & walked on up W. side of Peter's to the boat. Back at camp by 5:30 or so. 7 Sheep on mountains across lake yesterday morning. A 4+ one calf, a 4+ 2 calves, + 2 other adults. Aug 19 Peter Lake, Alaska My turn to cook today. Up at 7 AM & got breakfast ready by 8:00. Bob Mann who remained overnight was already up
