Mantis Peak, North Couloir. On May 15, I climbed the north couloir on Mantis Peak, after making a ski descent from the Colonial-Névé Glacier Col. Access to the couloir was gained by ascending a narrow snow chute, just right of a restricting rock band. Once in the couloir the climbing was straightforward on 40°-55° névé, and then through the cornice to the top. (Grade II.)
