Peak 1 Lower Northeast Face

Peak 1 Lower Northeast Face

These short steep shots are N-NE facing and very dangerous. The pitch is extreme. You can get right back up on the ridge from the bottom of the face. Higher up the ridge are the Peak 1 Upper Northeast Face runs, which are longer and of comparable pitch. Between them is the Peak 1 Northeast Couloir. This zone is known for its extreme avalanche danger.

Watch out when you’re on the ridge, avalanches on the North Face could propagate up through the flat parts
