“A fun ski down the Nokhu Crags.”

Type: Backcountry or Sidecountry

Description

This line is directly south of the northern summit of Nokhu Crags. You cannot see this line until you are at the bottom of the couloir. It is approximately 700ft to the top from the base of the couloir. Take the Nokhu Crags Ascent to the Breakfast Couloir Ascent up to the basin and then boot pack straight up the couloir. Depending on the person, one ice axe should be more than sufficient. If crampons are needed, it is probably isn't in skiable conditions.
