Trip: South Early Winters Spire - Southwest Couloir Date: 4/25/2015 Trip Report: Steve, Chris, Amy, and I drove up from Portland to Mazama Friday evening. After an early morning wake-up, we started from the Blue Lakes trailhead around 6:30 am and chose to leave the snowshoes in the car as the snow was generally pretty firm. Weather was cloudy with some off/on snow, but lifted occasionally for easy route finding along the skier path to the approach of the climb. Snow conditions were an inch to two of light powder over very firm settled ice/snow. We opted to rope up for the climb due to varying experience levels of the team and belayed up the couloir in 4 full rope length pitches (with a short amount of simul-climbing on pitch 4). Found a little bit of rock pro placements on the sides of the couloir, a good spot for a screw once, and a few places for pickets. Pitch 1 - and the chockstone. Very easy to go around. Pitch 2 Pitch 3 Pitch 4 At the top of the couloir, Steve led the short rock pitch to the summit At the top we had great views of the surrounding peaks, as well as quite a few skiers on the surrounding hills. We downclimbed to a rappel station just below the summit, and rappelled down through the couloir about 5-6 rappels to the bottom. View of the route - basically following the couloir up and to the right at the Y, then at the top going left to the summit. Overall a great climb, with a little bit of everything mixed in! Gear Notes: 3 Pickets 1 Ice Screw Set of Nuts Cams size .2 - 2" (Didn't use the 2") Webbing/Rappel Ring Two double ropes Approach Notes: Snow was in firm condition on the approach, no snowshoes needed. Some post-holing in the afternoon on the descent.
