The Narrow Ruth Gorge Beneath Mt Huntington

May 29th, 2006 - The narrow NE Fork of the Ruth Glacier beneath the NE Face of Mt Huntington. The glacier is about 1 mile wide here beneath a 5,000 ft tall face, so avalanching here ricochets off of the opposite side of the glacier! Bad place to travel in a snowstorm, so it is very bad to get weatherbound above this section of the Ruth.
