Trap Dyke in March 2015, Heavy snow in the dyke and was fairly strenuous. The two ice pitches were in great condition however.

Looking up Trap Dike from the middle of Avalanche Lake
Very exposed slab in early December 2015. Only verglas or exposed rock.
Huge crown line - be careful and consider the avalanche risk when climbing in the winter - this would have killed anyone on the route when it ripped.
One of the lower ice bulges.
Shorty after taking this photo a huge fracture line went across the top of the couloir. We protected off the rock at that point. This photo was taken above the 2nd belay. Beware of this area in deep snow!!
Waves of ice at the top of the dike
End of the trap dike with thicker, harder ice in early December 2015
Thin brittle ice in early December 2015
An avalanche crown between the first and second pitches of the route. Certified long boy Noah Johnson standing at 6' 2" for scale. The Dike is wind-sheltered and is especially prone to wind slabs deposited by north and south winds.
Climbing through the 2nd overlap (Summer "mud band") high on the TD slide on a beautiful clear day March of 2021
