Description Suggest change

Powell Peak is a somewhat non-descript mountain to the west of Thatchtop on the south side of the Sky Pond Cirque in Loch Vale. It does, however, play host to Vanquished Buttress, the North Face Icefield, and North Gully. Views of the Cathedral Spires, the Grepon, Sharkstooth, and others are unmatched.

Getting There Suggest change

Park at the Glacier Gorge Trailhead (or Bear Lake) and approach via Loch Vale and Sky Pond.
