Kam - we looked at it yesterday. I believe it is actually both. There is debris below it. It looks like it release on the edge of the the classic upper paradise glacier crack.
We saw a few othe...
We were on the success. Terrible conditions. We watched two of a group of four sit atop the kautz for over an hour waiting for the other two. Massive massive ice fall occurred off the upper Kautz whil...
We did a similar after dark descent a couple of weeks ago from the base of the top cliff band. Tons of snow! Super fun.
Approach is hiking shoes for a few miles.
Had a similar experience 3 years ago on this line. We bailed due to instability. It's especially tricky in that the windows for it are narrow most years.
FB TAY seems to be a problem. I would g...
We tried 6/24-6/25. We started and your tracks and the glacier entrance for hours trying to figure out a way. I didn't see a skis on easy one from the ridge or below. We skied a similar line to you wi...
My wife and I saw you walking out on Sunday as we were on our way up. Empty on Monday - skied off the top down the most direct couloir to the basin. No freeze unfortunately, but still skied pretty dar...
I think the hazard was ridge top or near shallow wind slab on all but N and NE slopes with a mod rating? Correct me if my memory doesn't serve. We tip toed into it. Not a lot of evidence of...
We had very similar conditions on the 16th. Skied out into Kendall AZ. Did have one skier triggered windslab release on us in the left side of the twins couloirs; 15cm deep and propagated wall to wall...
Lots of feels in this thread! I grew up in VT and lived there through college. Didn't get into touring until moving west, but have dabbled on trips and talked to friends back east. VT: Tear drop...
We went over to wright mountain across snow lake. Considerably better snow over there....strange. We also had lots of slow moving snow with each turn.....wet slough management? That was the most tired...

Was up in silver basin on Sunday and boy was it a crazy rapid-cycle of weather change. Noticeable loading kept us off of the upper parts of 3way. Could not agree more with policy comments. I'm al...
I'm pretty sure it's a western kid's truck. Wouldn't be too hard with something to push the snow up there and a winch. Got any pics of the twin lakes wash out? Wondering if my 4run...
