Quandary North Couloir

This is also called Quandary Couloir. A steep and extremely dangerous spring line, this North facing couloir has falling rock, avalanche, cliff, and cornice hazards. There are no-fall zones and if the cornice is big the line should not be approached. This is 40-50 degrees with jagged rock walls at the top and a serious choke point lower down with narrow walls and a steep pitch. This gets a lot less traffic than the South Facing Cristo Couloir, because of difficulty and safety issues.
