North Peak Mt Nebo, UT

Mike Meru climbs the big couloir on the north peak of Mt Nebo. It was plenty steep and exposed with a bit of annoying rock fall to deal with. The great thing about Mt Nebo is that it sees very little backcountry traffic so you'll usually have the mountain to yourself when you're there.

Champaigne Couloir, Mt Nebo

Mike Meru climbing around the top of the Champaign Couloir on Mt Nebo. I have skied this couloir three times an only once was it not blown off on the top of the couloir. The top just sits perfectly in the jet stream and gets super scoured.

Conundrum Peak, CO

Mike Meru and Kirsten Schiel climb the Conundrum Couloir in early August. It is steep and challenging this time of year. We got the couloir on the last day one could do it continuously. There was a lower steep, narrow snow bridge that collapsed as Mike splitboarded across it.

Summit shot of Michael Aasheim, Kirsten Schiel and Mike Meru on Conundrum Peak, CO. The Couloir that runs off of the summit still went on August 5th! It was steep, exposed, and had moderate rock fall, but was still an epic summertime descent.

Sunrise Couloir

Justin Reiter and Kirsten Schiel climb the Sunrise Couloir in late Spring. It was pretty firm and we thought it would be warm enough to forgo crampons. Since it was pretty firm and we didn't have crampons we cut in steps with our ice axes.
