Couloir Difficulty

Hiya, wondering what you would rate this couloir? What degree? Steeper than Dead Dog on Torrey's or Skywalker on S. Arapaho? Big time snow climbing junkie here =)

Re: Couloir Difficulty

Hi Asphazell,

I'm not sure how to compare, as I haven't climbed Dead Dog for years, and have never climbed Skywalker, have only seen it. I would estimate it's around 55-60 degrees. People had skiied it recently when I was there. I think it would be a fun climb, nothing too difficult. No worries about falling debris or cornices, etc. Hope that helps...

Re: Couloir Difficulty

Thanks for the info, looks like a fun route up a mountain I've been weathered off of twice! Maybe I've just been trying the wrong route!
