As I read Secor, his preferred chute is the right-hand branch of
the 'Y' in the snow. From the looks of these, when snow-filled,
it's the climber's choice of either of these, or the third, wider,
chute that we took around the far left side of the buttress.
Reports I've heard say that the headwall of snow at the top of the right-hand chute can be a little intimidating but is not terribly difficult. Other than that, either the first or third chutes are walkups with ice axe and crampons. |
