No Name Cirque Map

No Name Cirque is a steep cirque between Mt Russel and No Name. Much of the top is guarded by cornices. About halfway between Mt Russell and No Name, however, there is a large boulder which often creates a break in the cornice. The cirque itself is fairly steep and has some fun cliff in it.
