Johnston Canyon. Low avy hazard, but careful on blue-sky days--even when below freezing--when the sun shines on the top of the ice formations.

 

Barry B took a big ride a few years ago when the formation he was most of the way up on broke off above him. Barry was not hurt from what I recall. And in the late 90s I with some friends narrowly missed being hit by a VW-sized block, somewhat to climber's right of the actual Johnston Falls. The latter event at least was due to solar gain while the sun was shining on the upper ice at mid-day.

 

Another danger there might be all the tour groups who hike in...
