"After the first glass, you see things as you wish they were. After the second, you see things as they are not. Finally, you see things as they really are, which is the most horrible thing in the world."

Flying W - Rightside CouloirExcellent day up in the high country to welcome in spring. Solid little M2, Steep Snow climb. Realistically there's 2 crux pitches that are hard to protect, both followed by moderate to steep snow. The route itself is straightforward and fun!

Flying W - Climbers LeftNice short climb on fairly steep snow and rock band of loose decomposing red granite. We had fair snow conditions in the couloir, but the approach was a rough few hundred yards. Some postholing thrown in on the descent too. Very windy, I suspect 15-25 mph sustained, gusts to maybe 50-60. Good climbing,short approach, good day!
