The two thousand vertical foot route on the north face of the range is an interesting line that I’ve viewed multiple times from Google Earth that’s been begging to be explored and skied.
But with an off road journey up an unknown road, 2 creek crossings, a winter trek no less, a mandatory overnight campout and an arduous and dangerous climb to reach the summit, the barrier to entry for this classic is high. Yet even with the challenges of the line present, sometimes every detail can come together to make exploring these regions interesting and fun regardless of the conditions.
