Voted 10/10 | It would be really great if you could find a photo that depicts this: "Once you reach the Bowl of Tears, look up towards the mountain. You will see a large slabby cliff, that looks like it leads over to the face below the cross, and above that you will see some grassy slopes that meet with some rocks above it. You need to climb west from the Bowl of Tears and angle north up onto the steep, grassy slopes to the point where the grass meets the rocks of the upper part of the mountain. Once you reach this, you need to scramble for maybe 10 to 20 feet and you will see the entrance to the cross." Either one you took, or one somebody else took. It sounds a bit tricky to find and a photo would really help. Also, would you ski it? | |

Hasn't voted | Yeah, I wish I had a camera, but my camera was smashed up in Conundrum Couloir a few days before this trip. The correct way to go is the easiest looking way to go. We were a little unsure if it was the right way until we got there, that's why I tried to put a good description in there. Perhaps someone will grab a photo when they head up there and add it. As far as skiing would go, in good conditions, sure, especially if the approach had snow. It would be a little sketchy with the cliff at the bottom, but the slope is pretty mellow right above the cliff. Right now, there is a huge v shaped runnel down the middle, so it wouldn't be any fun to ski anymore this year. | |

Hasn't voted | I found a picture that had the slopes on it you need to climb. Added in the route description. | |

| sshankle | Good Page! | |
Hasn't voted | This route needed a page. You might consider attaching the route pics off the Holy Cross peak page. I think that will beef it up a little until I can get up there next year and take some more pics. ;) | |
