| climbed w/mike on the third day of our san juan snow climbing trip. short approach and careful downclimbing brought us to the base of the couloir before 7am, then we turned our attention to the climb. bomber snow made for quick progress up the couloir while it continually steepened until the top. the descent was interesting with rapidly softening snow. the view from the summit is unmatched in the san juans! jamie | |

| SarahThompson | Rock! Date Climbed: Jun 11, 2010 | |
| 5/9/09 - Failed attempt. Getting down from the Potosi/Teakettle saddle to the base of the couloir posed too much avy risk. 6/11/10 - Success! Very aesthetic line in a stunning setting. Nice, firm snow. I have never seen so much rock fall though! The right wall was shedding a lot of small rocks. We hugged the left side but still wasted no time in getting efficiently to the top. Descended the standard route and zipped up "Coffeepot" on the way. | |

| chicagotransplant | North Couloir Date Climbed: May 31, 2010 | |
| Climbed with Jamie via Yankee Boy Basin. We went up the face of Coffeepot to a point where we could traverse high (about 13k?) then drop to 12,600 on the Weehawken Basin side of Potosi. From there we ascended the North Couloir (40-45 degrees, steepest near the top) then up the final gentle slopes to the large summit. Descended the "standard route". This was a great way to experience this mountain, the snow hid most of the loose stuff, and the north couloir was a really fun climb! | |
