flomulgator Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 A friend and I are thinking of touring around Chair Peak this weekend and I'm looking for a little advice. I've seen a few reports that go from Melwaka to the Hemlock-Chair col and then down the Great Couloir or other. Is there an reason you can't do a climbing traverse from Melwaka to Pineapple Pass to ski Great Scott? Is this normally done? Also "watch out for so-and-so tricksy cliffband" or current conditions info much appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlpineK Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 It's pretty straightforward going from Melakwa pass to the lake then up to either Bryant col or Pineapple pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flomulgator Posted March 25, 2011 Author Share Posted March 25, 2011 Cool, thanks Feck. I ran into the monster avi field while doing Alpy slackcountry out to No Fog, that you described in a recent TR. My idea was that that junk extended up the couloir to the col, and I didn't want to ski that, thus the extension to Pineapple. I just realized my post count and join date don't exactly jive! Wonder how that happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
