| Hiked up the snow covered road and camped at the base of the couloir. Snowed on during the night and a little bit windy but cleared off the next day. Snow got mushy later in the day so we climbed on the rock for a bit. Beautiful climb with my dad and a great glissade. | |

| The Cristo Couloir was a field trip for our Basic Mountaineering School with the Colorado Mountain Club. Excellent conditions - left vehicles at 4:45-5 AM from the lower dam and summitted at 8:45 AM. Wicked fun glissade down the couloir followed by food and brews at Breckenridge Brewing Company. Truly an excellent couloir! | |

| DanielWandsneider | Dont fall Date Climbed: Apr 11, 2009 | |
| My buddies and I headed up early to be done early. Fun climb up! We all strapped on our skis and my board and headed down - I had an unfortunate but lucky fall - no injury, but my helmet was penetrated by my ice axe a few times. I would do it again! | |

| My usual routine is to climb the rocks on the left of couloir, and then glissade dowm. On May 27th 2001 I got married at the summit of Quandary and the weeding party did the glissade. Over half of my 30+ climbs of Quandary have been for this glissade. | |

| This was my Wife's first ever 14er summit, it was a great intro route to teach her axe and crampon techniques. I want to ski it someday. | |

| Fun climb and ski. Hard snow near the summit. Side stepped the rockband into the couloir. Loosened up midway down for about 1200' of really nice powder skiing. Put two hard ski cuts on the load w/ no results. Seems really set up in there. Stay away late in the day. Many point releases from rocks on the way out. | |

| Surprisingly good & stable snow for so early in the season. The glissade down was worth every step up! An enjoyable couloir. | |
