North Peak Couloir
Well, we did it and got back safe. I've posted the pictures HERE. It was a perfect trip. That area behind Sadlebag Lake is just amazing. Soft meadows, endless streams, waterfalls, lake upon lake, glaciers, etc... Going there is worth it just for the views. But we did go for a purpose and to that end we succeeded. Conditions in the couloir were easier than we'd expected so we decided to solo the whole thing. It was steep (55 degrees at times), but we were easily able to kick steps. It was quite surreal climbing side by side with Bruce on such steep terrain with 900' of air below us. It threatened to rain as we reached the summit, but never did. We took our time getting back, just enjoying our surroundings. I'm sure this will be one of many similar climbs.Posted by wonko at July 21, 2003 09:26 PM
