| with vanman798. Tough route, not just because of the 5-mile approach! Especially with such an early start that I didn't sleep a wink the night before, and carrying the extra weight of skis for the descent, which was worth the effort. We had perfect snow conditions: hard on the way up, and for the descent, a bit choppy but very edgeable at the top, creamy corn in the middle, and near-slush only at the very bottom. The snow was patchy near the top of the couloir so I had to downclimb a bit before putting on skis, but my first several turns were in very narrow bands of 45ยบ snow between bare talus. North Timp is a beautiful and awesome mountain; I loved the summit, and this route deserves its status as the trendy thing to do this spring. I had a great time. | |

| I'd been wanting to do this one for awhile, so when I wasn't able to go on a purposed climb May 30, I definately jumped on the chance to do it May 31, 2008. Sean Peckham and I reached the base of the couloir before sunrise at 5:30 am, and had nice hard snow, and clear weather, all the way to the peak. Signed the log book, on the peak, under Grizz (mtn_runr) and Lee (hence the title of this log "Following in mtn runr's tracks!") | |

| After hearing so much about this thing I just had to do it. My buddy, Lee, and I left the Mutual Dell TH at 6:40 with the caretakers St. Bernard puppy in tow (she would not be dissuaded.) We opted to leave the snowshoes, helmets and yak trax behind and had a great (and safe) climb. The puppy followed along until the couloir steepened, then crawled off to the side and whined. When we returned three hours later she was still there! Her owner, the campground host, met us part way up the Bear Canyon trail for a happy reunion. I have to agree with Michael that this is one spectacular climb! Five stars. | |

| At 10:25 Dave, Brent, Lana & I stood atop the north summit of Timp, the Cold Fusion Couloir ultimate goal. What a terrific experience. We left the Mutual Dell TH at 4:30, arrived at the base of the couloir 2+17 later. If you like long and if you like steep, you'll love this trek. Snowshoes, crampons, ice ax are mandatory, and for the Bear Canyon trail take Stabilicers or YakTrax. Have fun - we did! On May 6, 2008, Christine, Lana and I did the climb in near perfect snow conditions. I will attempt to write a trip report. At the risk of being redundant I will state once more that this trip is an awesome climb. Add another successful climb on May 9, 2009 with the WMC. | |
