Start by climbing steep snow through a few short rock steps (condition dependent).  The first technical pitch strikes out left on 5.8 rock with poor protection.  The next 3 pitches follow water ice (WI 3+).  The final section of the face follows steep snow up to 50 degrees.  Once you top out on the face, follow the Shroud route to the summit.  We descended the Shroud (on the Peter's Creek side of Bellicose) and wrapped around back and over the Bellicose-Benign col, back down to our base camp below the north east face.

North East Face (Freer's Cheers)

Bellicose Peak is one of the 21 7,000' peaks in Chugach State Park.  It's remote nature and brooding demeanor give it a somewhat mysterious reputation.
