MOUNTS BOR & BURI

MOUNT BOR   2781m   9124′
Located on the watershed southwest and above the Rocky Lakes, north of the Devil’s Range, and at the head of Woden Creek. Bor was the father of the god Odin (Woden).

1. South Couloir. Climb the gully on the south face of the mountain, which is probably best done with the rope for protection.
The climb requires only 1.5 hours from the Lucifer-Black Prince col and is a one-half-day round trip from Gwillim Lakes (see Devil’s Range). (II,4).
FRA Kim Kratky, Fred Thiessen, 1981. Mount Bor and Unnamed 2789m lie above the Rocky Lakes just The FA party thought that they had climbed Mount Bor, but changed their minds later. The peak is one half kilometre southwest of Mount Bor, at 463-205.

UNNAMED (BURI)   2789m 

1. East Face, Northeast Ridge. The peak was approached as for Mount Bor. Walk up the east face, and use the northeast ridge (short) at the top. (II,3,s).
FRA Gerry Brown, Bob Dean, August 2, 1968. 
The original approach was from Woden Peak. The party of June 2007 (Brown, LeBel, McGuinness) approached from the Lucifer-Black Prince col, contouring on snow at about 2590m (8500 feet). 
From Woden Peak (via Koch Creek), camp on the south side of the ridge between Woden and Gregorio and pass around the north side of Gregorio to the Gwillim Creek drainage. Then use the Black Prince- Lucifer col, or pass Black Prince on the west (Woden Creek) side, climbing over the ridge to the Evans Creek drainage.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

About admin

I would like to think of myself as a full time traveler. I have been retired since 2006 and in that time have traveled every winter for four to seven months. The months that I am "home", are often also spent on the road, hiking or kayaking. I hope to present a website that describes my travel along with my hiking and sea kayaking experiences.
