Rastus Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 Can anyone tell me what the approach gully might be like this time of year? Moat issues? Passable without snow? Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary_Yngve Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 which approach gully? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catbirdseat Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 The approach gully right below the notch. The snow will be completely gone and it will be full of loose rock. You can rappel the steep parts on the way down. The first rap is a single with a 60 meter rope. The second might not go with a single. Better plan on doubles.

philfort Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 (edited) I guess this is kind of late info, but it was fine last weekend. No moat issues. I thought the gully was pretty nice as approach gullies go. Some loose crap (don't bring a big party), but not dangerous - much of it is nice fun blocky 3rd class. Downclimbing it was fine.
