PeterC Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Skied/climbed the S ridge of Black Pk this weekend. Lots of snow the whole way. Traverse from Heather Pass to Lewis Lk is relatively low-angle sidehilling through avy debris, but w/ cliffs below and HUGE cornices above. Might be mildly unpleasant if it was too icy and dangerous if it was too warm. Most of the S ridge was snowy couloir - I wished I hadn't left my skis at the base. The top 20' or so were rock and snow-covered rock. Might be better to wait a few days after the last snow before attempting. All in all a fun climb. 7hrs car to car.
