Ascent Note
Whew! Hair raising adventure! I did this thing solo, and with out crampons or tools. The bottom half of the couloir was filled with snow/ice still so I had to scramble climb traverse along the side of this steep ice toung. Very scary but fun. Then there were sections of great solid rock for a while, then near the top it turned to sandy loose garbage...scary again, but worth it once I got to the summit ridge. I didn't quite make the summit as the last 20ft was to great a risk to take on my own with no rope...maybe next time!
