Also, an opportunity to pick out new lines and re-assess avalanche prone terrain.
Just check out that cornice above!
Upon arrival in late March, it was more like 6ft into hard slough.
Building sized walls of folded snow stared down on either side of the notch.
As we have said throughout the season, this will be epic if it slides.
Something to witness from a safe distance.
Not a place we regularly venture for this very reason.
That said, it seems like this time of year, snow is crashing down across the state.
Never a better time to be careful out there.
The cliffs at the top still look menacing and the long run to the bottom is sprinkled with avy-debris.
Sturdy trees, solid rocks, and squishy humans are never a match.
That is, unless we get another late-season dump.
