Trip: Guye Peak - South Gully

Trip Date: 02/20/2020

Trip Report:

 

I climbed the south gully of Guye Peak this thursday, the first half of the route was in good conditions up to a steep rock wall covered with soft snow, I turned to the right out of the gully and climbed straight up in a lot of powder snow for the rest of the climb.

 

Snowshoes highly recommended for the approach.

Gear Notes:
2 ice axes

I climbed that when I was in high school (about 40 years ago). I took a 30' fall (unroped, thank god)  and landed in a soft, deep pile of snow. I was unfazed, but my partners were sure freaked out.
