8/16/2019 Route: From Teakettle Posted On: 8/16/2019, By: WildWanderer Info: Summer conditions except for final gully: it has a surprising amount of snow, turning it into a class 3 scramble. The dirt around the snow is saturated with water and will suck your shoes off. |

5/16/2018 Route: North couloir Posted On: 5/17/2018, By: trailboss88 Info: Ascended from Yankee Boy basin to saddle, dropped down other side to climb North couloir. Significant rockfall during climb. Soft snow on saddle (in sun since sunrise) and rockfall in area led me to descend to Weehawken Creek trail via some bushwhacking. Hitched ride back to Yankee Boy. |

5/14/2016 Route: North Couloir Posted On: 5/14/2016, By: k-berger Info: Made an attempt at the North Couloir on Potosi today. Approached from Yankee Boy, the road is clear up to the governors basin junction. Snow on the east facing slope between coffee pot and Potosi down into the basin was pretty wet as we made our way down to the base of the Couloir (around 730 or 8). Didn't feel that we had the time to climb and ski Potosi before that slope was unsafe since we had to reclimb it. Hot day out there, ton of snow still. First pic is of the North Couloir, second one is of the saddle back up to coffee pot / Potosi. Wet slide likely happened the day before. |
