West slopes to South Ridge
Great couple of days out with the impressive, fun and entertaining Scott M. Berry. Saturday September 17 through to the 20, camped below Piper Pass, north of Elbow Lake, for two nights and then one night over the pass in the alpine of “Paradise Creek”. Got up two Opal Range peaks; “South Schlee” (GR 388157) which had no cairn or any sign of previous ascent. I built a cairn and left a register. Also got up “Little Tombstone” (GR 396219) which had a register, left in 1975 by S. Toporowskj and D. Smith.
West Slopes to the South Ridge of Little Tombstone was a simple hike. Descended the West Face from the summit and did have some tricky slab sections.
Had attempted the East Ridge way back in October 2012, but bailed due to a tricky 5.3 cliff band with verglas and bad weather.
