Route Climbed: Northwest Chute Date Climbed: May 15th, 2004
Nice climb. I bagged this one on my way back from Corcoran. The route was rather anticlimatic, though, since the waterfall pitch wasn't as formidable as I had expected! Apart from cold hands resulting from handjamming in ice-filled cracks, and some akward chimney work, the 15ft scramble wasn't too precarious - I think there were more dangerous scrambling portions later on along the traverse to Corcoran!
I had meant to continue on to do Mallory and Irvine, but sadly I was too slow after having lugged a rope and pro all the way up. Perhaps another day!

After opting for Bob's non snow approach to the saddle, had no trouble navigating my way up to the summit. This was my first peak of 4 on this day(read my trip report for a full description of the traverse).
