Re: Wow?

Yep, still a bunch in the couloir, though the approach was completely snow free. Thanks for checking out the photos.

Nice weather this weekend, hope you guys had a fun climb.

Re: Wow?

Yeah - weather kicked ass but we did not :(

Wanted to try Rebel Yell but after getting the treatment (pretty wasted before we even got on the rock) from that shit gully used to access the notch next to Burgundy. Went up Burgundy/N. Face instead.
