Luke,
Thanks for mentioning our completion. It was great to finally get this peak done with Ryan. We'd been planning it for a couple of years...but timing and injuries conspired against us.
Ryan and I were joined by Sarah and Dominic Meiser and we had an adventure of a day. The approach involved some class 3 to maybe 4 scrambling on the cliffs to gain access to the Iceberg Lakes Basin. Then we finally figured out the correct coulior....which was a blast. Perfect snow, 40 to 45 degrees till the final 50 vertical feet, where it steepened significantly. Dominic took the lead at this point and blazed a great "ladder" up it with his kick-stepping.
The descent was uneventful...except for a bit of postholing.
A much bigger day than anticipated...over 11 miles. But an excellent day!
Pete
