Trip: North Early Winter Spire - Early Winter Couloir

 

Date: 5/11/2008

 

Trip Report:

Mark, Dylan, and I had a fun time on NEWS on Sunday. None of us had climbed the Early Winter Couloir before - it is much more a snow climb than an ice or mixed climb. There were a couple short steps of AI3, but it's mostly just steep snow. It is a fun route in any event though, with a short approach and nice ambience. The upper ridge was snowy rock climbing; a bit slabby in one spot. In the warming temps the couloir will get dangerous from failing cornices.
