I just got
back from a climb of Forbidden Peak over the Forth of July weekend.
Conditions are about as good as they could be right now, with the
coulour still completely filled with snow, and the ridge mostly bare and
dry. We dropped our campons a couple hundred feet above the top of the
coulour and then continued in our boots from there to the summit.
Two Skiers in
Boston Basin.
We
did not seem to bother the year round inhabitants of our camp.
Pika
Marmot
We did not get a super early start, and were at the
base of the coulour by 8.
Starting up the
coulour.
Above the shrund.
Somewhere on the
ridge heading up.
Seen somewhere on
the ridge. WTF was someone trying to accomplish with the blue cord
added to this anchor? Thanks, I can add this to my collection of crappy
anchor photos.

Heading down.
