fear_and_greed Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Climb: Mt. Columbia - Rockies-East face Date of Climb: 6/24/2006 Trip Report: With my regular partners BackcountryPunk and Jason climbing the NE buttress of Slesse last weekend (WTG guys, cant wait to see some pix)I hooked up with Greg from Van and Josh from Calgary to try Mt. Columbia. The weather was perfect and we summited Albertas highest peak. Check out my blog for pix and details http://hydrogenplusstupidity.blogspot.com/ You can click on the pix to enlarge them. Gear Notes: Skis, crevasse rescue gear, lots of GU. Approach Notes: Serac fall danger is overblown on Snowdome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordop Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Was the final face too steep or icy to ski? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fear_and_greed Posted June 27, 2006 Author Share Posted June 27, 2006 We considered it but the possibility of getting a leg injury and then the distance from help made us think better of it and everyone was pretty bagged by the time we got back down.
