Avalanche Mountain - 2810m Rogers Pass
Avalanche Mountain 2810m in Rogers Pass BC Canada - August 10th 2025
🏔
Ascended the Southwest ridge proper, from the lookout (4th - but that crack pitch is totally worse than the Huber Ledges, and NNW Midnight, both 5.3s?, and it should be rated at least 5.2)
🏔
Descended via Southeast Spur (3rd class - there was definitely a 4th class section, and that gully was fun!)

Had an absolute blast, and it feels good being back.

11 hours 57 minutes, car to car. 5 hours to summit. Spent an hour on the summit waiting for the weather to clear, no dice.

Maybe a little bit off route here or there on the decent, it was very tricky route finding, maybe there are better weaknesses we missed. Actually used an All Trails gpx track........

Climbed in a cloud all day, and it got very wet and slippery up there, hence the decision to not downclimb and use the Spur.
