OlegV Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 Last week, Ivan, Stas and myself climed Reid. At the top of the summit ridge we looked down and saw what appears to be the last section of the Eliot HW. It looked like steep (70 degree) snow/ice slope and some rock. Anyone knows about the routes on the HW? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OlegV Posted December 16, 2005 Author Share Posted December 16, 2005 I've been at the base of the last technical pitch last December - climbed Sunshine, than did a looong traverse to the left (55-60 degree snow slope). At this point, it was about 1000 ft or less from the summit. From there, downclimbing is a bitch. I'd like to climb the HW when there will be more snow in the gullies and the weather is cold.
