Blanshard Needle via Evans creek valley....?

[pazzo]

when reaching the top of Evans Creek (to access Blanshard Needle), there are two gullies which go up to the top (looking south)!? which one do you take which runs between Alouette and Blanshard?? is it the second one (farthest one up the gully)? where does the other one go??

thanks guys.... this is my 1st post here!!!

After the trail ends at the creek, boulder hop up the

creek bed until you reach a creek coming in from your left, head up this and it will take you to the gully running

down from the col between Alouette and Blanshard.

thanks, but i mean when you get to the absolute top of Evans Creek (very top of boulder field) which gully is the right one??? there are two big gullies which lead to the top!? is it the one farthest west (the one at the end)? or is it the one just 1 or 2 hundred metres to the east (encountered first when hiking up the creek)? thanks for the quick reply!!

its the very left most one the one at the very, very end not the first one you come to.

hum....to get to the Needle and Alouette col from where rockclimber described (the very top of boulders) is actually the gully to the right (when facing the routes). the left one takes you to the col between Allouette and Evan Peak.

 

and that guy made it. see biv.

That was a 2003 question though
