Fairweather Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 Trip: Chair Peak - NE Buttress TR Date: 2/19/2011 Trip Report: Lots of new snow well bonded to the old. Two other parties on the North Face, but my brother and I had the NE Buttress to ourselves. Had to kick out new steps in the fresh as nobody had been up since the storms. The first pitch is kind of shitty, but the rest of it we simul-climbed. The "ice step" was beautiful and plastic. Watching the skiers far below carve out sweet arching turns in the hummocks above Snow Lake made me wonder about the day's priorities. The route The ledge/couloir More up The step toppin out the notch rappel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
