 Dead Dog Couilor   

I joined the hoards on the approach to Grays and Torrey's only to leave their company 2.4 miles in when I headed to the base of Torrey's Dead Dog Couilor.

The snow was perfect for crampons. I did not have too much balling up on my crampons and was able to kick most steps in one kick. There was a bit of runnelling, so its probably not in the best conditions for you extreme skiers.

I was really pleased with this route, the snow conditions and the fun little top out via Kelso Ridge. Get on this route early and soon, before it disappears!
