Skiing Dreamweaver on Mt. Meeker. This line needs to get skied more! Only two 30m rappels are needed in the middle crux. You can can escape to skier's left at the top of the Flying Buttress Col and finish on the approach slopes to Darkstar, this avoids a rappel/downclimb in the lower Dreamweaver couloir.

The upper half of the route has three steps.

Elise making easy work of the steep snow and ice.

Looking up at our second pitch. The rock step at the top was pretty big, but not too difficult. There was a pretty big "hole" underneath it, where the ice had melted away. Photo taken on the first day of summer, 2003.

Steve Line leading into the crux of Dreamweaver...we measured the slope at 60 degrees in the steepest sections.

drew follows, sucking air!

Pete Lardy starting up Dreamweaver with the Flying Buttress on the right.

Brian climbing toward the first mixed step about 300' up into the couloir proper. Normally this is a rocky step, but this weekend it was covered almost entirely in snow with a little rotten ice and rock in evidence. He soon regretted the fact that I still hd the rope in my pack. June 5, 2005.

Looking down from above the crux secition in the upper couilor.

Jean Aschenbrenner high on the route.

Brian entering the couloir where there is usually a chockstone to climb over. There is still enough snow there this season that there was no chockstone, or even rocky step, in evidence. June 5, 2005.

The opening moves of Dream Weaver when the couloir gets narrow.

Mid-way up the route.
