East Face of Buck Mountain

Climbing Conditions

Snow line is at about 9000 feet. Good firm Snow for crampons until the last 50m to the summit, that was very soft and punchy. Made the upper part of the descent feel not very secure. Creek crossing down low was tricky. We had to remove our shoes and wade across.
