iceaxe

Pics are always a plus. I was up there this morning to, it was great! I think we chatted on the summit ridge just before heading down. Congrats on your summit!

Anybody know if there's a boot path forming up the old chute yet?

I didn't have a board on my back but I followed someone up. It didn't look like there were too many people taking that route so it was probably you. Did you ask me if I had 2 tools after you climbed the step? For the record I did have a second tool along with my ice ax...which if I had to do it again I wouldn't think of going up that with less than both my ice tools...ice ax strapped neatly on my pack.

I climbed through the gates (left side) on Sunday. As teleconvert noted, it's quite steep and icy. The hairy part is a section about 6' or so of near vertical smooth water ice!
