North Couloir
Solo climb and ski of the couloir between the summit and the western false summit. Traverse over to the true summit was annoying on hard packed snow kicking steps, but it was a great ski down the couloir.

Tricky near the summit with snow
Added this little guy on after climbing Pearl and West Pearl. Got in a good glissade back to Ashcroft.

nasty little tusker
cruised the west ridge of greg mace to the false summit after climbing both the pearls. unfortunately, the final stages of the climb didn't cooperate as well. sarah, dwight and i had to get out on some frozen, north facing snow before climbing through horribly loose scree to reach the tiny summit.
glissading one of the north couloirs from ~300' vertical below the summit to minutes from the road made all our scree nightmares vanish rapidly!
