Description Suggest change

Approach from Twin Lakes Horse Creek trailhead.  The East Couloir is visible as the higher of the two possible ways to the East Ridge from the toe of the Matterhorn Glacier. Ascend the couloir to the East Ridge and head up and right over 3rd class ledges to the summit, or continue around to the southern aspect for easier terrain.  The couloir varies between good snow in the winter, to a mixed scramble or a scree slog by the summer.

Location Suggest change

Same approach as the North Arete, also the normal descent route.

Protection Suggest change

Ice axe and crampons
