Balu Pass - looking up the West ridge of Mt Cheops.
Rapping over the cornice into the STS couloir, Mt Cheops north face.
Coiling the ropes after the 30m rap in. Very steep in this section of the STS couloir. Approx 60 degrees here. A full 60m rappel would get you past this steeper area, onto easier slopes below.
Upper slopes of the STS couloir.
The West summit of Mt Cheops. The entrance of the line is approx 80m further along this ridgeline.
Rappelling into the line. Approx 35-40m.
The STS couloir main chute. Dispatcher's Bowl and Grizzly Peak can be seen across the valley (also great skiing).
