Re: No likeyThanks Sarah! I have a strong dislike for downclimbing steep snow. Unfortunately this year the snow in Washington has been very slow to melt, so I've had to do this sort of thing more than ever before. -Adam

Downclimbing PyramidDid you have a hairy bergshrund at the base of the pyramid? That's what I remember about our climb. It was really steep, and if you fall, you'd probably peel everyone else on the rope off and you'd all go into the bergshrund. I thought it was pretty scary at times.

Re: Downclimbing PyramidSorry for the delay. Somehow I missed this comment. There was not much of a schrund when we were there. It was only starting to open up on one side. But I can imagine that would be tricky.

Re: Great picture, GimpiActually we did. We made about 3 rappels until there were no more suitable anchors and then we downclimbed the rest.
