| It not that often we ski on piste but a bit similar Grand Montets in Chamonix although the scale here is even bigger you can utilise the lifts here for outstanding back county access, This images shows the town of Revelstoke by the Columbia river from Revelstoke Mountain Resort (RMR) |

| Ewan at the belay on the last pitch. quite good conditions, quite frozen in the shade with the cornice not over threatening, but I would not recommend being too late. It worth noting that the cornices to the immediate West of the climb are still overhanging and exposed to the sun from early in the morning. |

 |
| A really scary pitch, moss on the crux moves rather then turf, very then and fragile ice... seconding it once the ice had been sheared off felt precarious... Andy going really strongly... my hero!!! |
