Note: The second rappel is vertical, and
will be tricky with heavy packs, icy ropes

exists for summer use or in very low
snow years when skiing from the ramp is

New Route Description

Approach the Deville Headwall along the eastern side of the glacier. To find the first station, follow the
natural terrain depression along the edge of the glacier, following the line between the ice and rock
working west towards the centre of the headwall . The first station is located on a rock outcrop nearest
to the ice. All stations have yellow reflective markers. There is one cairn marking the start of the route.
The first station is on the rock outcrop immediately below the cairn, and is made visible with a
reflective orange marker (UTM: 11U 0473899 / 5667305).
Rappel One: 25m, 2 bolt station
Rappel 25m down the gully, wrapping slightly climbers left to small exposed rock below a bulging
buttress (orange marker). It is possible to climb back up from this point.
Rappel Two: 30m, 4 bolt station
Rappel fall line 30m down the skiers right (west) side of the rock outcrop that you are standing on. The
next station is located below the vertical seam in a small rock corner . This pitch is vertical,
committing, and the next station will be at the end of your rope. Standard safety precautions are
essential.
Rappel Three: 30m, 4 bolt station
Rappel fall line down to snow ramp below. From here groups may choose to ski (if conditions allow) or
may build a t-slot anchor to descend to lower angle slopes below. A fourth bolted station is located on
the rock face if there is not enough snow left to descend the ramp. During most spring conditions, this
anchor will be under several feet of snow.
