I would conclude that Chouinard's is a great route if
done at the right time. It was fun, without a doubt, but I
must have had a lot higher expectations. Perhaps it was from
the anticipation. 2 or so years ago when I had come to the Dacks
in February (comimg home with numb toes lasting a month) I spotted
the gully on our way out of town. We had arrived in the dark
and didn't get a good view of the Chapel Pond climbs until we
left. That day I said I would do this route. I guess 2 years
had bigged it up a bit! I hear Dogleg, to the left of Chouinard's,
is quite a good route, too.
