Any reports on where exactly Bob's was found? I'm guessing down one of those chutes on the west side of that ridge leading to Islip?

Any reports on where exactly Bob's was found?

"300 feet below the summit of Mt. Islip" is the most detail I've read. There is a LASD photo here that might suggest the south or west face.

Here's a contour map of Islip area. There is a sorta level spot on the south ridge (ssw ridge) at ~300 ft below the peak (circled in blue). Red line is a crudely drawn contour 300 ft below peak.
