As we traveled up Unicorn Creek, we noticed a lot of refrozen wet loose slides all throughout the basin. They had clearly happened in the days before, but still gave us pause, and reinforced the fact that the skiing likely would be very bad. With the warming afternoon taunting us, we decided to skip an attempt at a summit of Unicorn - we'd likely have needed a rope anyway - so instead we zoomed up to Foss peak.

From Foss, we skied down to the col on the East side of Castle mountain. We decided to camp at this col as well, as it was almost halfway and in a beautiful spot! Hard to have a bad time when you're gazing at 4 volcanoes for your sunset and sunrise. After a lovely breakfast of ramen (yes, it is better than oatmeal or a cliff bar...), we took off towards our next peaks!

We skirted around Pinnacle, which needed a rope, and topped out on Plumber and Denman. Both just steep snow climbs at the time we were there. Looking over to Lane and Wahpenayo, we decided we'd skip Lane, having been to the top already, and just go for Wahpenayo. Ultimately, our plan was to ski the North side of Wahpenayo to get back to Narada falls before the gate closed at 4pm. After getting halfway to the peak and realizing we were short on time, we decided to bail and just ski down the col on the East side of Lane peak.
