Hey Paul,

I knew you rapped because I saw the photos when I enjoyed the rest of your photo album that had the N Couloir pics :-D

Ah, okay. I thought only those two photos were public...now I know better and changed the links :)
Hope you got a kick out of those odd captions for non-climbers :D

Note the happy ice at the top and bottom 3rd of the V-Notch Couloir, and the passable bergschrund for the U-Notch Couloir.

Also, climbing the North Couloir of Thunderbolt Peak Labor Day Weekend:

Looking down at the icy stuff on the U-notch from Polemonium's summit (9-20-09)

Full scale photo available here:

There's lots of loose scree at the top of the U-notch that can get knocked down by the climber's boots, rope, etc.
So please be careful if there's already another party on the route
