Cayoosh Mountain Million Dollar Couloir
Another Duffey classic before meeting up with friends in Kamloops.
Looking up at Cayoosh Mountain and the Armchair Glacier
Man the big avy debris never looks as intimidating on camera
Wind pushing snow around
I’ve not seen the mountains of interior British Columbia, so this is what I imagined they’d look like somewhat, except maybe more trees here

Looking at the Joffre Group
On the Armchair Glacier
Looking down the Armchair Glacier
Looking at the North Glacier now
Unfortunately I forgot to document the ridgewalk getting here, but I remember feeling a bit like it was going into the unknown - you had to turn a corner before you got to see safer terrain
The couloir itself, which was actually quite short
I count seven tracks including mine, which I guess means it’s tracked out
I could be misremembering but I believe the ridgewalk takes you pretty close to those cliffs - no easy way down
Notes
- This was probably ~10 miles and ~4000 feet of vertical gain in a little under 4 ½ hours.
