Deming Peak: South Face

This can provide a reasonable winter tour. On a warm March 15, 2015, Jonathan Kriegel, Bob Salazar, and I went to the summit and skied the S Face. Approach via Meadow Creek trail (9100 to 12900 feet). Five hours up, two hours down. We ascended to the summit by the slopes out of frame on the right. Descent was by the broad slope a small bit right of center.

And on March 24, 2021, Matt Wentz and I did the same route and were rewarded with excellent powder conditions for the descent. 4.75 hours up; 1.5 hours down. Here are our tracks on the main pitch from very close to the summit.
