Little Bourgeau via north ridge

Quick report

Weather

windy, warm

Snow Conditions

crusty, hard

It doesn’t have to be fun, to be fun. We found a mixed bag from facets to crusts and smoo of all kinds. Challenging gaining the ridge in crusty fascets and ski crampons were necessary as were several boot packs. Everything stayed put and we felt good about stability, but the skiing was of the survival variety. (One gully before the ridge was a bit spicy) This was a “once and never again” objective.
