My first snow couloir climb! (outside of a failed attempt of the Hourglass last year) It was a blast, albeit a very tiring day. Conditions in the couloir are near perfect - few inches of soft snow above hard packed ice/snow. There are very helpful steps carved in for a significant portion of the climb. Started from about 0.5 miles above the Bakerville exit. Potential for postholing in the afternoon as the melt continues - recommend taking snowshoes above the summer trailhead. |
