| Skied this route from the summit in excellent condition. Would make for an awesome climb as well. | |

| Pretty cool couloir climb. Climbed with Britt Jones. Bit of a late start. Not sure what conditions would be like...soft snow. Very nice moderate snow climb. | |

| Snow conditions were pretty amazing. The late spring snow we got really kept our couloirs in prime condition a lot later in the year than normal. We started climbing from about 12,600-12,700 range and were in solid snow pack up to the ridge at 13,800. I definitely recommend this route for those aspsiring snow climbers out there! | |

| Decent snow conditions, nice weather except the 40mph winds up high. Luckily the couloir itself was in a wind shadow. Cornice wasn't too threatening, direct finish. Scenic, mellow climb. | |

| Couldn't have asked for a better day....weather was perfect, conditions were good and we had the mountain to ourselves. Felt like parts of the approach were steeper than the couloir! | |

| Great couloir, have been eyeing this one from US24 for years and it was good to finally get it, and on a great day with continuous snow! Definitely took the proper exit on this one, no cornice, just a nice steep finish that topped out on the ridge. | |

| couloir was sweet! around 1200-1300' vertical and started around 35-38 degrees while getting progressively steeper the entire way. the last 150' was 47-48 degrees and topped out just below the summit. it would be a hidden gem, yet it seems like many people are learning about centennial thirteeners recently. jamie | |
