The North Face of Whitetail Peak, one of the most dramatic alpine faces in Montana’s Beartooth Range. Split by the 3,000-foot couloir, the North Face is considered one of Montana’s premiere mountaineering – and extreme skiing – objectives. Backpacking Light’s Ryan Jordan and Alan Dixon climbed this couloir as a test of lightweight wilderness travel and mountaineering techniques more than 10 years ago – #backpackinglight #wilderness #bplphotocontest
