Has anyone climbed the N couloir on Pacific recently?
Or, have you seen it?
Pic's or first-hand accounts would be appreciated.
Thanks...

Re: conditions of N couloir on Pacific?
I skied the Hawaii Couloirs (just down the summit ridge and less protected) a week ago. No snow into the high basin until the last vertical push to the bottom of the couloir. The couloir looks deeply runneled and scattered with rocks. I skied ~10am. In any comparison to the HI Couloirs I would say nice climbing snow in the morning. Be ready for a glissade after the tarn. We were supposed to go up there this morning but we fell victim to "Local Clock". If you are looking to get up there and want some company let me know, if I have a day off I'd swing it up there any time.
