Warrior Mtn

|
Note for 28 June 03: I went with Blair Piggot and Dan Ronsky. We camped at 8,500 ft (GR257026). Great conditions, good glissade, perfect weather. Part of a weekend with Joffre, Mangin, and Condonnier. Click for a detailed trip report | ||

Here we see Warrior Mtn from the shoulder of Marlborough across the valley. The ascent goes up
the left skyline ridge to the summit. On the right side of Warrior, you can see a litle nub
called Waka Nambe. 
This is a picture of the summit face. Once you get on the ridge between Warrior and Cordonnier,
you just hike up this south face. It's really pretty easy. If you look closely, you can see Dan and
Blair coming down.
This is Dan and Blair sitting at the summit, which was sporting a nice cornice. The big peak in the background
is Sir Douglas. 
This is a close-up view of Waka Nambe as seen from the summit of Warrior Mtn. I'm not sure if you could scramble
the peak, but I'm pretty sure you could do some easy 5th class climbing to reach the top of it.
This is looking back toward Cordonnier. It's a long ridge and looked pretty narrow at times. 
Now for the fun part. Getting off the ridge connecting Warrior and Cordonnier was a big snow slope.
What better way to descend than on your butt. Weeeeee!!!
