Pyramid's West Couloir?

Post by Ridge runner »

Has anyone done this? I've read a few reports (one by sgladbach) about it's west face route, is it the same thing? I'd be interested to hear if anyone has done it this time of year and how the conditions were, or if anyone did the Bells recently and has a picture of Pyramid's west side. Thanks!

edit: I just now noticed Steve said he did go up the west couloir in his trip report.

Info for this option, besides sgladbach's TR, is scant.

Definite beta on Pyramid's west face much appreciated in the upcoming month.

Roach mentions it's "a practicable route, especially if there's good snow in the couloir." That suggests it's even doable melted out, but I have my doubts.
