Info request - Mt. Adams, White Salmon Glacier

Simple but obscure question here - much rockfall hazard from The Pinnacle and other cliffs above the WSG? OK, maybe not simple; the place can produce some the region's largest rockfalls. But on a more typical day. An early-season day. On the spectrum of "a few pebbles rolled past" to "It was raining whizzing chunks o death so we ran away."

 

 

Thanks.

Skied the white salmon/avalanche glacier route yesterday with a party of 3, around 3:30 PM from the summit, small amounts of rock fall (a few small pebbles here and there), nothing came close to us as we descended.

 

There is a large bergschrund guarding the top of the white salmon glacier, it is easily passable on the skiers right side. There was one other small crack that we crossed after the schrund, and then it was cruiser after that. Good luck!
