Single Cone, Remarkables

As usual , the addicts that we are, we were hoping to Ice climb, hot temps meant it was a little dangerous so we decided to head up Single cone instead.

We snowshoed to Wye Saddle, then followed the ridge line, changed to crampons and axes quite high and popped accross the face, up the couloir on the east face,  to the top.


There's a halo but he's no angel

AMAZING veiw at the top of the couloir
Couloir was full of snow and easy, but the rock step above this pic always feels very exposed and scary even though it's not that difficult. Tomas soloed it earlier that day, he's a brave man.

Traversing to the summit

On the very tippy top
