Awesome pictures. Quick dumb question, did you guys rope up? Most of the pics were unroped, and that one pic you guys had rope. Trail looked in great condition, which I guess has already changed with this new storm. How far could you drive up? Thanks.
We did bring a rope just because we were not sure what condition the route would be in. We summited without roping up, but did rappel down the chute from the summit to the notch and then continued down the couloir unroped the rest of the way. A rappel is not necessary but we had the rope so we decided to use it.
Just out of curiosity, what did you use for your anchor? A cordelette around a large rock, some small pro, is there a fixed anchor already there or did you leave a your anchor behind?
You're killing me––lovely weather, great shots . . . and if there's anyone reading this(I'm pleading on my hands and knees, please) from San Francisco, or close by and you can make the drive, please say hello and let's go . . . again, great shots.
