Fairy Meadows

From the Great Cairn Hut at Sir Sandford we ascended the Silvertip Glacier and traversed right on a nice bench towards Azimuth Notch. When the traverse starting to look really hairy we climbed directly up about 100m on steep snow slopes to gain the ridge about 150m before the Azimuth Notch. This put us in a great position to ski down to the Adamant Glacier and start our ascent up Thor Pass to the Gothics Glacier. The Pass was more like a couloir which we boot packed up and were thankfull we were over early in the morning. We climbed most of Pioneer Peak and then Dan and I skiied the easterly portion of Pioneer Pass whch is steep with a roll over at the top that just keeps going. We were stoked.
