Kessler Peak/ East Couloir

East Couloir is rated an S3+
S3+ ... Slopes at or near 35° with terrain features that require maneuvering around!



After a 4125 vert foot skin up we reached our summit of kessler peak. 10400' peak.



With a sketchy entrance formed from a cornice i used a snow saw to cut the cornice to check for stability and make the entrance more friendly.


Using a small rope i helped Tiph get into the couloir.



A super fun day with a well deserved beer at the car! Just another chute under my belt!
