Description

This is primarily a winter crag. There are winter and summer alpine objectives here. You can find ice and dry tooling routes. It's a good place to get experience before tackling the big mountains. The rock is loose, however there are good bands of rock that can be found.
If tackling Fungaphobia, be aware of the overhead hazard (i.e. cornice) that accumulates over the winter months.

Getting There

White Mountain is located 84 km south of Whitehorse. To get to Conversation area, reset your odometer at the Jake's Corner T-junction. Continue south on the Alaska Highway for 2.5 km. You will be on a high bank and the road slightly turns left. Look down off the road for a culvert, telephone pole with flagging tape off a guide wire, and a little break in the forest.
Great work has been done by a couple dedicated climbers to make a trail into the climbs. Thank you AR and MJ! Head south directly towards the mountain range. Follow a faint trail that is marked by flagging tape, cut logs, a log bridge and a distinct impression in the permafrost. You will see many animal tracks as you approach the area: wolf, caribou, moose, linx, and many little critters. The trail will eventually bring you to a wash. Cross the wash and hike on the climber's right of the stream bank. This will bring you to Lover's Quarrel (60.329246 N 133.927577W). Hike above it to find Kiss and Make-up. The hike is ~3 km.
