We were skiing under Atwell in 1974 on wooden xcountry skinny skis. Climbed up SE face in a col to the top. It was a bit steep and exposed as I recall. No axe or rope but the snow was solid and we were able to kick steps and dig in our bamboo pole handles for some protection. Nice view from the top. My 3pin ski boots didn't have vibraam soles so it was a bit sketchy in spots coming down. Weather can come in fast up there. Take care.

crazy that this isn’t viral wtf!! this video is a hidden gem. major congratulations to you man!! i’ve heard lots over the years about how sketchy atwell pk is, but this is the first time i’ve actually seen it. i think a lot of people didn’t realize how much of a beast it is until it started being talked about a lot since a couple weeks ago when a few pro mountaineers went missing while descending the SE face where you ascended. i’m curious if you have any thoughts on how difficult it would be to descend on the SE? it would be interesting to hear it from someone who’s actually ascended that way before. once again major congratulations!

Thank you! Conditions are everything and everyday is different, but I climbed it again earlier this year with a few other people and some sections were a lot easier than the first time around just because the snow was better. Descending by foot is definitely doable just a lot less pleasant.

please just be safe and please don’t do it right now! 3 highly experienced mountaineers got lost in this spot back on june 1st. it’s june 19th and there’s still no sign of them. RCMP and SAR are asking people to stay away from the area until further notice. :(

Good question, I would say you go with people who are better than you and knowledgeable, and try and build your skills step by step, without rushing.

The summit of Atwell is definitely the crux and technically harder than what I found on Robson, but Robson is definitely a harder adventure overall
