Description
Having descended into the north side basin of Sundance, you can scope out the lines up several couloirs.
The easiest option (moderate snow, ~45-60 degrees) takes a wider line that tops out in a notch just to the northwest of the summit. The topout can be guarded by a cornice, so watch out for that. We took an alternative, steeper topout to the right as we ascended to the top, because it looked fun.
Several other options exist too - a steeper and narrower couloir with steep snow leads directly to the summit, described in Dave Cooper's guidebook (it had a big cornice when we were there), and there's another fun looking one further to the north - unclear if that's been climbed or how steep it is.
