Great way to approach McGown
Chris and I climbed the 9115 couloir and then traversed over to McGown's North couloir, making for a long day of climbing with minimal approach. Sweet! The snow in 9115 couloir ranged from postholey to perfect styrofoam. Didn't see any rockfall all day, although considering we started at 4am, that's not too surprising. I recommend leaving the rope at home for these routes.

Snow conditions were perfect. Temp was nice and cool. No rock missles to worry about!
