No Name Face is a premier steep slope. This northern face is a long, consistent pitch worthy of high praise in corn or powder conditions, offering ample opportunity to let your spirit soar. The cirque in between (No Name Bowl) is shorter, but still worthy, and contains numerous cliff hucks, if you’re into that sort of thing. Getting there is simple but not always easy depending on conditions. The easiest way to access No Name Face is to take the Powder 8 Bootpack, then contour around the cirque on the southern side of Cody Peak. Go below Twice is Nice and Once is Enough, then up and over the cliffed terrain in the middle of the bowl. It’s also possible to wrap around the west side of Cody Peak via the Cardiac Ridge Bootpack. This approach is full of loose talus below a thin snowpack and is often confusing to find the right path through rocky terrain. However, if you’re into that sort of adventure, you will end up at the notch between Cody Peak and No Name Peak. From this notch, both access routes become one and you will begin to ascend up the east side of the ridgeline, which contains sections of sidestepping and boot packing until you reach a large cave. This cave is a great hangout and the starting point for the run. Enjoy the views and fuel up here, being sure to re-assess avalanche conditions and develop a plan for your group’s descent.
