Northeast Ridge

Shirley leading the low 5th choss somewhere on the upper NE Ridge of Black Peak. Haydar's belaying. Actually I exaggerate - this part was pretty solid (Aug. 19, 2006).

Black Peak

is one of the least chossiest peaks in that area. You should try Fisher, Graybeard, Paul Bunyan's Stump, or many other peaks over there for truly bad rock!

Re: Black Peak

Yeah - I'm sure the others are even more memorable :)
From the hwy, looks like good rock but the lower half of ridge is pretty chunky. Still great views and nice position make it worthwhile! It's a pretty good looking peak as well.

Re: Black Peak

Yep. How did you like that descent? What a pile! Can't believe people climb scree fields and call them routes.

Re: Black Peak

damn - the descent was pretty sketchy. Esp. there's the final leg when you drop off the south ridge and start heading down to Wing Lk. Scree over slabs - good times!!

Tazz mentioned that they found a better line on that section.

PS waiting for some more Canada photos - no pressure man ;)
