Animal Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 Trip: Mt Maude - South Shoulder Date: 6/28/2008 Trip Report: This weekend George, Karen, Doug, and my self Kevin climbed Mt Maude. I have been wanting to climb this mountain even since my failed attempt of November 10, 2003. Well this time we were greeted to wonderful hot weather and not a foot of fresh snow that came down last time. Any how the route was very easy, class 2. It appeared from the register that we were the second party to the mountaain this year. The first party did a decent ski of the North face (bas ass ski route). Anyhow since the weather was so awesome we spent the night on top. The sunset and sunrise were wonderful, and I liked the tundra flowers. Well here are some pictures for your viewing pleasure! Working our way up Leory Creek Basin The South Shoulder South Side of Mt Ferno Gear Notes: Ice Ax Crampons (did not use, the snow was soft from the heat) Approach Notes: Leory Creek Basin Quote

Animal Posted July 11, 2008 Author Posted July 11, 2008 Did you take a peak over the N face, by any chance? Yes! The person who summited precious to us stated in the redister that they were going to ski the north face. So we took a look at it. Clumbing the north face of this peak definately looks fun, and not too hard either! Quote
lunger Posted July 11, 2008 Posted July 11, 2008 as of sunday 7/7, the N face was still in shape to ski (and climb)--Sky posted our trip on turnsallyear. looks like it had at least a week or so of life in it for a climber. Quote
