This Mount Superior couloir is probably better well known as a steep backcountry ski route, but in the spring and early summer it provides an excellent steep snow route for a climb of Mount Superior and Monte Cristo.
The couloir lies on the east face of Mount Superior, and tops out at the first notch on the south ridge route. From the top of the couloir the upper half of the south ridge can then be followed to the summit. An advantage of this route is that it bypasses the generally less interesting scrambling which is found on the lower half of the south ridge, leaving the more enjoyable scrambling still to come above.
40deg Snow.
