BlackmouthThunderbolt to Sill Traverse  Sucess!
Date Climbed: Aug 8, 2009

Used the L-shaped couloir on our descent from Mount Sill. I opted to scramble down the class 3 rock on the sides for the first part of the descent and then moved onto the snow.

Wound up getting bogged down in snow, ice, and stuck between the Swiss Arete and the North Couloir...wound up retreating. Quite unfortunate.

Climb Mt Sill on our way to Polemonium Peak. Perfect conditions and the easiest class 4 I have done.

But a fun way to summit Sill if you don't feel like roping up for the Swiss Arete. You may or may not need an ice axe depending on the conditions of the L-shaped snowfield.

The L shaped snow field was pretty much non-existent, just a tiny sliver of snow along the base of the left side of the col and patchy at that. This made for some loose climbing on that part, but the 4th class beyond Apex Peak was solid and a lot of fun.

Once up the couloir, it was tough. Lots of snow and ice made it tricky to find the clean route up. Spent a lot of time looking from Apex Peak.

Great climb up the L Couloir and challenging rock climb from the top of the couloir to the summit ridge if done free solo. The photos on this Route Page do a great job of showing the route.

Scrubbed plans to do Polemonium after Sill due to the hour and menacing clouds. Instead, did a quick run up to Gayley following the ridge directly as opposed to the Yellow Brick Road route.
