marc_leclerc Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 looks fun! How steep is it .. hard to tell in the pics? Like grade 2 or 3- tops? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoodie Posted November 7, 2009 Author Share Posted November 7, 2009 In response to a few posts... Elliot Headwall from Snowdome. I guess nothing really jumped out at me as fatty when I passed below it coming down Sunshine, so I neglected to take a picture when closer. Hope this helps. The Spur and North Face environs. And to Marc, I'd say the upper step is maybe 3. The entrance to the left gully looks like a pretty good pillar now, probably harder than right.
