DET Posted February 24, 2024 Posted February 24, 2024 (edited) Today we did what would have been a fun gully on the east crater wall. I don't know what number it's supposed to be. v4? Or is it between v3 and v4? Anyway it would have been more fun in firmer snow/rime. But we were wallowing in deep snow, and the rime was so fragile it could barely support itself. Though that did make all the excavation easy. Took WAY too long to get up there and we dealt with a lot of hollow snow. Went down v4(?) instead of finishing the traverse. The soft snow made for an absolutely blissful ride down to the lot. Beautiful day 🙂 Also saw a pretty massive avalanche crown on the west crater. Edited February 24, 2024 by DET 2 1 Quote

OlympicMtnBoy Posted March 12, 2024 Posted March 12, 2024 Nice! Isn’t that the nature of rime? That it barely supports itself? Haha! 2 Quote
