quikclimber Posted March 1, 2010 Posted March 1, 2010 (edited) Trip: Colchuck - Colhuck Glacier Date: 2/16/2010 Trip Report: Its old news but at least I have a few nice pictures for you to look at. Left the TH around two on tuesday, camped just off the trail were it forks off to stuart lake. Skiied up to colchuck the next day, made a camp near the lake and headed up the left side of the moraine. we were going to head up the ne buttress couloir, but it was a bit late in the day so we skinned and booted to the col and east summit. The skiing was great fun and the snow was great down near the lake for the last 1000' but crusty above. Thursday we headed back up and climbed up to where the couloir gets narrow, a quick pit revealed a crust 60cm down with poor bonding (ste Q1). About the same time a big slab released on a similar aspect on the adjacent slope so we boogied out of there, knowing the headwall at the top of the couloir was probably even more wind loaded. bridge crossing Gear Notes: brought way to much crap to not get up either couloir. skis were nice Approach Notes: skiied in Edited March 1, 2010 by quikclimber Quote
