Kaleetan's North Ridge in Winter?

[scottgg]

Anyone climbed it or heard of it being climbed? Approach recommendations from Alpental? Thoughts?

An approach for Kaleetan is outlined in Martin Vokels ski touring guide book. Basically you head up towards great scott bowl. Then go west just before hemlock peak and countour northish around the east face of Bryant on a shelf above the mixed climbs until able to go up a short couloir taking you to a bench. From the bench find a small pass, drop down the pass into Denny Creek drainage. From there I don't know 'cause that is as far as we got.

I've climbed it. I just remeber it being a pile of choss. As for approach, we went up past snow lake and jumped on it up there. We descended the normal walk up route and came back down past chair lake. I did it 4 yrs ago or so and don't remember all the details. Only brought 30 meters of rope.

The summer route crux is the razorback traverse down low on the route, loose, unprotectable. I haven't climbed it in winter, but I think it would be a cool objective. Post some pictures.
