Description
A Phantom trees day that turned into a traverse to Avalanche Mountain. The ascent to the Avalanche ridge required some booting to get onto the ridge, which was pretty irregular, but luckily not super-corniced. I might look for a better route further toward Avalanche next time.
Difficulty
Difficult
Serious gradient of 30-38 degrees where a real risk of slipping exists.
Medium Exposure (E2)
As well as the slope itself, there are some obstacles (such as rock outcrops) which could aggravate injury.
Remoteness
Away from help but easily accessed.
