Weekend_Climberz Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Nice TR. That looks like a great tour. I'll have to put that one in my little black book of tours "To Do". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshK Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Is it steep or not? One picture from inside the coulior makes it look so, but the shot of the mountain makes it look low angle. That gully on the left looks cool... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonthomp Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Reasonably so. 40-45 degrees, though one can push toward the edges of the couloir for brief moments that push 50. The chute on the left would go to. A little steeper and certainly narrower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
