Rock Climbing – Ice Climbing – Ski Mountaineering
On Saturday April 19th, Bobbi Clemmer and I skied the Northeast Face of Mystery Mountain in Idaho's revered Sawtooth Range. We spent three days in the Sawtooths - my first ski trip outside the Tetons in many years.
The South Couloir of Albright Peak, not to be confused with the massive "Southeast Couloir" drainage running directly to Phelps Lake, is a 3,000 foot fall-line descent with a variety of terrain, including a quirky approach, exposed entry, and a few tight chokes that may or may not beckon a rope.
