Trip: Alpental Valley, Chair Peak - NE Buttress

 

Date: 12/26/2010

 

Trip Report:

Today I went up and poked around on Chair Peak. The start of the north face route was a little too dry for my liking (not to mention the skis on my pack weren't meshing well with the chimney). So I wallowed over and found some good ice on the northeast buttress (also lots of hollow garbage). The steeper bits at the start and the little step up high were just thick enough to make me happy. Entering the descent gully off the top took some thoughtful moves, as it is pretty rocky and scoured. I downclimbed around the cornice at the usual rap spot and skied down from the base of the chute. I suppose it will all get buried here shortly, but for what it may be worth, there you have it. There's a little more lively TR on my website: http://forestmcbrian.com/

 

Cheers!
