Description 

This is the area above summit lake which consits of a number of different snow couliors. The climbing is mostly moderate snow routes and excellent ski descents. Generally you will not need crampons for these routes but an ice axe is recommended. It is also possible to reach these couliors from the summit for good skiing. Most years the snow will be gone by mid June. The couliors face mostly North and it is difficult to see weather coming in.


Getting There 

From Summit Lake hike South and slightly West towards the obvious snow fields. Pick a line and follow it to the summit. Most routes end with some moderate rock climbing towards the top of the ridge. If going skiing drive to the summit and hike the ridge West until you reach a resonable looking place to drop in.
