Couloir Climb: Hopeful Couloir on Mt Hope (13,939 ft)

Mt. Hope is a Centennial peak located between Leadville and Buena Vista. Hopeful Couloir is a classic mountaineering route that is accessed via the East Ridge route to Hope Pass. The slopes range from about 35 to possibly 50 degrees. Do not sign up for this event if you do not have previous experience on steep snow with crampons and ice axe.
I have not climbed this route previously.

We may have to bump this event into later in June depending on snow conditions.

The couloir receives full sun during the day, so an early start is critical.
More details as we get closer to the event.
