Welcome Couloir

This is a steep N-NE facing couloir off of Witter Peak. There are other options on this Northeast face but they are dangerous and threatened by huge cliff bands. Be wary of cornices that can form on the top of the drop in point. This zone gets a lot of wind.You can approach this line from Rainbow Road near St. Mary’s Glacier.
