Trip: North Sister - Ski Circumnavigation and Ice Pictures

 

Date: 1/20/2011

 

Trip Report:

I had a great day yesterday doing a ski circumnavigation of North Sister with a couple of buddies. Firm conditions prevailed, so the turns weren't the best, but the views were spectacular.

 

The NE Face of Middle Sister is in FAT, and the Emde/Abao Route to the left is in too.

 

The classic NE Face:

Emde/Ablao (2004)

Both Routes in Context:

Gear Notes:

There are few routes on the Linn Glacier Headwall area too.

 

Approach Notes:

You can drive to the final junction of the road, 3 miles from the Pole Creek trailhead. We took a snowmobile in to the trailhead.
