A look down from about halfway up the couloir. Looks pretty nasty, huh? But a ton of fun...

On the ridge for a smoky sunrise.
Making the hike back over the saddle from Conundrum.
A view of the hike to come along the Northeast Ridge. The added weight of skis doesn't help.
Heading toward the couloir in a low-snowfall spring.
View from the summit of Castle Peak. To the left is the saddle to which you'll descend. Conundrum is right in front of you, with its technical couloir just right of center. Conundrum's summit is up and to the right of the couloir.
The downclimb from Castle Peak to its saddle with Conundrum. The chute pictured here is about as technical as it gets (not too bad). The rocks on the sides are loose, so be careful if you go around.
