Winter alpine route recommendations
|
I climbed Dragontail Peak via Triple Couloirs (III-IV WI3 M3) last Spring, and am looking for awesome routes with similar character and difficulty. My Winter/Spring tick list so far includes: |
|
NW Ice Couloir, El Dorado Peak ~WI3+ |
|
No |
|
I don't climb alpine, but being from the Howe sound I'm up in the Squamish/whistler area hiking a bunch. Check out the ropes of the wedgmount lake area as well as the Joffre lakes area. Both have huts for base camp then multiple peaks to check out. |
|
Rope up on some routes? |
|
Check out: Colfax, Colonial, Buck, Chiwawa, Stuart, 3 Fingers...to name a few. |
|
Watusi Rodeo on Colonial, Yocum Ridge on Hood, Wilkes Booth on Lincoln. Those where my favorite in last year. Cously Huston on Colfax is decent too. More in grade zone your looking for. |
|
I would recommend Gerber Sink and Stuart Glacier Couloir. For the SGC go early season if you want it to be more interesting! Both of those routes have a lot more actual climbing on them than TC. |
