Expected neve in the Northeast Couloir but got slip n slide instead. Bailed at the bergshrund due to the heat. The two couloirs southeast were not filled in towards the top.

Dinner Time!
Kevin and I simul-climbed the couloir on pretty hard ice. Dinner plates galore and I bear the bruises to prove it! Great climb on ice to the top-out of chute; terrific weather, no smoke issues. I was quite surprised that the chute held out so well this year!

Good lead
Not much ice, mostly neve and snow, but still a fun climb.

Not much ice...
...mostly neve, but fun none the less! I can see why this route is so popular...easy approach, beautiful area and easy enough climbing to make it fun but still challenging. Loved it!

Last Ferry of the Season!
Blair and I soloed the far right couloir in perfect conditions and weather. 6.5 hrs total and even had time to enjoy the scenery. Loved it!
Great ice climb! The ice was more brittle along the moat than it was out on the face. Started the first belay in a moat to the side of the couloir & led 3 pitches to the top.

Right couloir
Swapped leads with Chris Gibson on a beautiful early fall day. There were 3.5 pitches of good ice in the couloir. Just a bit of a bergschrund on the lower left side, but nothing to worry about yet. We soloed up to a patch of ice and pitched it out from there. I led pitches 1 and 3. The route seemed to be well-traveled.

Great Climb
Climbed with Forjan. This was my first Alpine Ice lead. We soloed the first pitch of neve and completed the climb in a total of 3-60 meter pitches. The route was in shape and a great first ice lead. We caught the 2:15 water taxi for a relaxing finish to a great day. Did it in about 10 hours wtih help from the boat.
Climbed, skied and snowboarded this line. Wonderful route!

Awesome
Great climb, reasonable ice. Lots of rockfall though--staying right definitely helped. Got caught in a storm halfway up.

First ice climb
Had an awesome time on my first ice climb. I think I shared the route with Kovarpa, who blew by my slow beginner self. Climbed the couloir but didn't summit due to time, so hopefully I'll come back for that eventually.

annual NP climb
with Kris and Vendula. Fun, good ice. Reasonably quick for a party of three (3 hrs). This climb never gets old...

Right Couloir of N. Peak
My second couloir. Climbed with Miguel and Joan. One leader, two side-by-side followers. I lead the 1st and 3rd pitch switching leads with Miguel. Climbed the last 1/2 pitch in about 3 minutes after sitting at belay for 90 minutes, because I just could not wait to get to the sun.
BTW...I dropped my right glove off the top of the 3rd, and it slid into the moat halfway up P2 on the left. If someone *happens* to grab it, PM me. Thanks!
