1.   Below the bushes lay a ledge and then a sheer rock face plunging forty feet to the clay-reddened lake.

2.   Moais lie horizontally, vertically, even base over apex to make optimum use of the rock face.

3.   Steve had to fix a belay around a boulder while the porters lowered barrels, bags and sacks down the rock face.

4.   The body in its shroud of ice stayed fixed to the rock face.

5.   The footpath is now pointing due south and the panorama is magnificent, with rock faces rising almost vertically from the lake.
