Access Issue: Ice Field Snocoaches gate Details

The Ice Field Snocoaches gate is closed during buisness hours, but the gate is open in the wee hours. This allows for a alpine start, but you may have to wait for a bus to open the gate to get out during the day.

Description

Located on the right side of the North Face. A narrow ice gully forms where the rock bands of the North Face end, and before the hanging seracs begin. The angle approaches 75 degrees for a rope length, and then soon relents.
