I have climbed this face in as little as 1:26 when conditions are good. When the snow is deeper, it can take upwards of 4 hours.
Remember folks, we don't normally get winter conditions til' January. And there's much more out there than Baldy Bowl.
The NE Face. The approximate line we took was 'CJ's Hooker'.
Our route for today
Ty climbing up the start. There was some fun easy mixed 'scrambling' low on the route.
Swimming up the pow!
Ty learning pick placement. This little shelf is a good place to learn it. No risk.
Are we having fun yet?
Clouds moving in, receding, and repeating.
Stud!

Hiking out from Fritz's Flat
Glissading down Lamel Spring Gully, the best descent route on the mountain.
Iron, Fish Fork, all that hard work goodness.
Ty has some good pics.
