A long, windy and cold day on Deltaform's NW Ridge today. We stayed at the high bivy and there is no running water there now. Quite exciting gathering snow from the tiny patches left on the north face. The entire route is dry, no crampons or ice axe required. 3 ascents so far this year.
We had a reminder to check fixed pitons today. One popped out on us when we weighted a rappel. Good thing it was backed up...
The middle third of the Supercouloir is dirt right now. Not dirty ice but just plain dirt. Mark Klassen Mountain Guide www.alpinism.com |
