The approach to Kor's Door from the foot of Lambs Slide. Photo taken 8/1/04. We stashed our extra gear here, and continued on carrying just what we were taking up the climb.
From here, it took us about 45 minutes to reach the start of the climb.
An ice axe was helpful, but not essential, for the initial snow section. My partner crossed the snow in his rock shoes, kicking toeholds, with no ice axe. I had rock shoes on as well, and was glad I had an ice axe. Next time, I'll wear my approach shoes!
