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!
View looks awesome. I think i would of been the video guy at the bottom. SLC looks very soupy. Clam Chowder?
