Wow

What a freakin route photo. I did the gumby route from Solitude Lake and have wondered about this route. Now I know.

Is that a avy-safe route? Looks like some nice post holing, but hey, it sure would be a nice winter view.

Nice shot, where did you take it from? I could figure it out but I'm too lazy to whip up the TOPO.

The picture was taken from the summit of the West Glacier Knob, just east of The Loch. Going to The Loch and "climbing" West Glacier Knob is a nice winter snowshoe hike for beginners.
