Zenolith Posted May 8, 2001 Share Posted May 8, 2001 2 weeks ago I skied from the rock shelter on Cooper Spur. It was clear and the N SIde routes looked inviting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Posted May 8, 2001 Author Share Posted May 8, 2001 Zenolith- What routes did you have a look at? Could you see the gully routes and/or Elliot Headwall? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zenolith Posted May 8, 2001 Share Posted May 8, 2001 Billy, I looked specifically at the "N Face" route that is right of the cleaver. That route and the gully to the left looked easier than usual. A more moderate angle and plenty of snow. From that distance I could not see whether I was looking at ice, soft or hard snow. In the right gully the short rock step was almost completely covered. I looked at the elliott headwall and thought the same as for the gullies but the rock was not covered with ice or snow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
