On July 9, 2011 Pip and I climbed Chiefs Head from the Glacier Gorge side. We climbed up the couloir.
At one point we scrambled for a while on the rock, but needed to move back onto the snow. It looked something like this.

Man that's steep. I bet the inadvertent slide down would be fast.

An inadvertent (unarrested) slide would be bad.

Hello,

I haven't been up it yet but was wondering about the best descent route.

What descent route did you use?

They went out via Wild Basin. I think they dropped down into Lion Lakes, if memory serves correctly. Jinks has posted few times about the trip.

[Mr. Jinks]

Yes, we ended up climbing down the "other" side and hiking out to Wild Basin. This wasn't the original plan, but I didn't feel like going back down the steep couloir.

Here's a trip report. http://www.rmnpforum...ief's +head
