North Pole and Tree Chutes

Today was a really good day for a hike on the Wall. With a small group we did the North Pole hike and dropped into West Vertical. We skied North along The Traverse, went up The Tree Chutes Staircase, and dropped in The 8th Tree Chute. Beautiful day and great skiing. If you like skiing double black diamond terrain and you don't mind sweating a bit on the hike, I highly recommend these journeys. The view from the tops of both hikes is worth it. Throw in the skiing and a little workout - very nice.
