Description
Though easily accessible and popular as a hike in the summer and a ski tour in winter (with access through Snowbird certain days in the spring), the north aspect in some years has sprouted a fine ice climb that, when combined with hard snow/snice conditions in the couloir above, makes for a fun, mini-alpine outing. Unfortunately, access to this route is forbidden when Snowbird is operating as a ski area. The entire north aspect is considered a closed area and only opened to skiing in certain locations a few days a season, if at all. It is also in plain view of the Snowbird Patrol shack on Hidden Peak, so poachers take note and plan well.
