Avalanches Pouring Down the Face of Mount Index | [ Sizes: Orig | Large | Med | Small | Thumb ] |
On the way down of Philadelphia Mountain we heard avalanches coming off of Mount Index. Near the end of one of the avalanches I managed to capture a video of the avalanche although not quite when it was at it's prime. I could have stayed watching all day, but due to my friends work we had to dash out. Taken April May 1, 2011.

Good vantage point. Gimpilator and I saw similar avalanches there two years ago. | | Posted May 3, 2011 8:07 pm |

Hasn't voted | Indeed! I had to wonder when I heard of a ice climb on that peak. This view was a little ways above the lake to the left. I'll bet it got better later that day. | | Posted May 3, 2011 8:46 pm |

Voted 10/10 | Lucky capture. There's a pic of Half Dome face with one of these type of avalanches on the Half Dome page. | | Posted May 3, 2011 9:29 pm |

Hasn't voted | It wasn't the all in one kind of avalanche but it sure made quite the rumble noise. Even as I was a distance away from the mountain I could still hear at least one avalanche. | | Posted May 3, 2011 10:27 pm |
