Mt. Cook South Face

Post by Atraslin »

I was scheduled to race the rando race at Alpental. Unfortunately the night before while gluing my skins I managed to make myself sick from the glue fumes.

Last minute, I jumped on a trip to ski the Owls couloir. Alex and Cam dragged me up a 7 hour climb up Mt. Cook with bluebird skies. The clouds decided to poach our line as we finally relaxed on the summit. I felt like I was at altitude and hung over, after such a big day of slogging.

Blan B was a fine option on the south side as we skied billy goat style from one gully feature to couloir to other features in the ever thickening clouds.

You had me really intrigued with "Mt Cook South Face." Classic Coast Mountain enigma in the 4π white room.
