The original post in this thread was asking about doing the MR in May. In May, that first move at the bottom is not a problem because there is a snow bank there to use. It is the snow and ice-covered rock all the way up that always requires careful attention.
In the picture above, the red line is the right way to head up. If you stay in the deepest gully just to the right, it reaches a headwall block that is rough to get out of. |
