I got my first real view of the Goodsir massif over a year ago while doing a traverse of the southern Dogtooth Range. It looked so imposing, so impenetrable. And as well it should be, being the biggest peak within 50km. Once I started populating my Google Earth with all the ridiculous snow and ice that stands out to the eye in the sky, I couldn’t help but notice a streak of white on the South Tower; just what was that? All the pictures I could find were shot from the wrong angle to show my streak of white. So last fall I went up to go see for myself, but the valley you look up to see the line, closes up before you get the right aspect for the line. Then over the winter, while skiing in the Beaverfoot I dragged some buddies up, including Ian to have a look-see. This time, the river defeated us, wetting out the skins until we desisted in our hunger to even gaze upon the fabled line. Finally, last weekend from the top of Chancellor north face, I got my answer, and wow what an incredible looking face it was.<\/p>\n
