jordop Posted May 17, 2004 Share Posted May 17, 2004 Climbed the right side of this face yesterday with Steve Harng: Snow to 45*. Nice line, has already been skiied. Some of you may have visited the other side of this peak on the Place Glacier where there is awesome skiing. The potential for large, hard alpine routes in this area is large. Bivy is ONE hour from the car, but timing is essential: TRied to go in with Doolittle in March and there was 5ft powder snow. Went in this weekend and everything was melted out and avalanching. Some other lines in the cirque: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uh I dunno, maybe Most faces are between 2000-2500 feet, but because they face east don't really accumulate sufficient ice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
