plexus Posted February 10, 2003 Author Posted February 10, 2003 Finally got up the bloody hill. Great view across to Index. The washout is fixed, you can drive to the trailhead. Hit ice-crust crap at about 3,200 and actual sugary snow at about 4,500. Brought ax and cramps but needed nothing. Thought the first summit was the main one, started rock and tree climbing on the ridgeline until I realized I was trying to kick my left foot into blue . Gotta love cornices!! Tooled on a couple of the boulders out there...interesting rock like a mixture of sandstone and schist...there is a nice coulouir it looks like that runs up to where the W Ridge and the rocky N Ridge almost converge. Looked like 60+ most of the way. Quote
