Fletcher, NW Face from 13700 col

On May 26, 2019, Randy Garrison and I climbed and skied this beautiful line above Mayflower Gulch. There was a skin track that we kept too, but it was strenuous as it involved 52 switchbacks. Ski crampons were helpful. The col at the top is a superb spot with great views to the south and south west. Relatively recent snow made for fine conditions on descent. Total climb was 2650 feet with the ski run being 1800 feet. Google Earth tells me the upper thousand feet are at a 26-degree angle. The line is just right of center in the picture below.
