Description
A popular ice route up the Enclosure with less rockfall danger than the Black Ice, the Enclosure Couloir meets up with the Northwest Ridge, from where one can continue to the summit of the Enclosure.
Routefinding is easy: follow the 50-degree couloir to the notch in the Northwest Ridge. Then continue up the ridge or rappel the other side to return to the Valhalla Traverse and Lower Saddle.
