Watch That First Turn

Paul, Ted, and Mike, from bottom to top, hiking up above the Roca Jack to the top of the Super C. If you lean back, you might end up back at the bottom. The bottom of this top section of the hike was all exposed cliff. This is the section where I damn near pooped em.

View from the top of the Super C. The snow was firm and wind blown here. As soon as you dissapear the snow got real good. Davenport told us Saturday he thinks the elevation up here is between 13,500 and 14,000. Below the couloir you can make out "the road with 30 curves". That is where the Super C ends. 6000 feet below.

Paul skiing just below the top. Paul, Ted, Mike, and I all agree it is ridiculous just how big the Super C is.

Paul making a turn on that first face. I am not sure exactly what degree this slope is, so we will just go with pretty freakin' steep!
