Eastern Chute, Dana Plateau

A winter ascent of the large chute just south of the Third Pillar of the Dana Plateau. There is a 20-foot cornice at the top of the chute! (February 1978, Dana Plateau, Yosemite National Park, Sierra Nevada, California, USA))

Re: sick!

Strange how large cornices on top of narrow chutes got me excited when I was younger, and now they terrify me.
