Description
The Northeast Face of Mount Fury is a steep, glaciated headwall above hanging glaciers in the rugged cirque of the Northern Picket Range. This very remote region in North Cascades National Park requires a long approach. This line offers a sustained descent of more than 4,600 ft from the summit to Lousy Lake in ideal conditions.
