Hasn't voted | Hi Lorenzo. Happy New Year! Yes, they look pretty similar, but this couloir is shorter (less than 300m) and should be a little less steep than Canalone Neri. In any case, it's very attractive and it should make for a grand mountaineering day. I have it on my "to do" list, but after the east ridge of McHenrys Peak, which I hope to do next summer. | | Posted Jan 6, 2005 9:53 am |

Hasn't voted | Brenta - were you close enough to discern ice vs. snow? These January conditions look do-able; however, this this year's snowfall is a bit heavier thus far. I would love to bivy at the lake and tackle Powell with my ice tools! | | Posted Dec 27, 2005 11:57 pm |

Hasn't voted | I submitted the picture in January, but it was taken in mid September. It's been a while, so I'm not sure what I really saw, but from the original image, which shows more detail than this one, I can see that the darker areas are exposed ice. Then again, when I finally reached McHenrys that day, I found that the party that had signed the summit register right before me had climbed the notch couloir. | | Posted Dec 28, 2005 12:32 am |
