cartman Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 (edited) Trip: Snowfield, Colonial, Pyramid - Neve Glacier Date: 7/2/2009 Trip Report: Went in with Oyvind H. Thur 7/2 to meet up with Tobae, Tim and Khanh at the 5900' camp, and went quicky up Pyramid that evening. Next morning left camp at 5:30 for a fun loop from Snowfield to Colonial via the cols on either side of Peak 7505. Glaciers are in such great shape that we never felt a need to rope up, and snow was in excellent condition, no post-holing. Crampons only needed for the high traverse to Colonial's summit ridge (slip here and you will be doing the Watusi Rodeo--in reverse). 10,000'+ in 28 hours. Great group in a spectacular area. Pics here: Gear Notes: Harnesses, ropes--brought but not used. Approach Notes: The thigh-burning trail is in its usual wonderful shape--mild brush, mud, etc etc. Edited July 6, 2009 by cartman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
