Alan taking the sweet reward of a spring summit--the 3,700 foot glissade, down the entire west face, to the lower meadows. I have to admit things got too steep around the 'Bottleneck' and we lost control and flew over the small cliff section. No one got hurt and we were still smiling. May 19, 2006.

From this perspective you can see the entire Battle Creek North Fork (West Face) route.
