\nGery talks of using a tunnel for ascending the right couloir, however I found the tunnel to be completely filled up. There is basically a massive rock that got plugged up in the choke of the couloir just 50 or so meters from the bottom of the coolie. The left side I believe was where Gery found the tunnel, but I guess it got plugged up by avalanche debris. Not sure if that happens every year late season or if this is out of the ordinary. There is a nice hollow under the rock to chill out, and then the right side was flowing big, long sluffs (one lasted a full minute) when I got in there. The right side is a 2 or 3 meter 80 or so degree scramble with lots of snow hollows. I couldn’t figure out how I would do it, and certainly not in an acceptable amount of time. Past the choke, I believe it is quite a wide couloir, with plenty of safe area out of the crosshairs of the sluff.<\/p>\nI turned around after changing over in my little safe hollow and skied down to the car. It was too late in the day to start on the left one, and I had also used up all my appetite for danger for the day. The left one also has a lot of NE facing extreme terrain on a face above the whole lower half of the couloir, which is a direct danger for half the way up. The right one by contrast, is quite exposed to overheads for a short bit and then good for the rest of the way up, which I like.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
It looks like wintery conditions and powder snow are about to be done for the season. Everyone saw this warm spell a while off, and to that end I’ve been skiing as much as I could over the past six days.
