Alioth

Alioth is a summit on the north side of TWA Canyon. Its 700' southeast face is steep and one of the more compelling walls in the Sandias, but probably gets only 1 or 2 ascents each year. This wall is visible from the tram. Due to its aspect, this face sees sun from mid-morning to mid-afternoon. Because of its location and intricate descent, a day on the Alioth is sure to be a committing and rewarding adventure.
