Black Prince [ Sizes: Orig | Large | Med | Small | Thumb ]
Black Prince
This marked photo shows a class 3 avalanche I triggered on Mount Black Prince, March 1, 2006. The yellow line delineates the propagation, approximately 500 meters wide. The red dashes show our first ascent and safest ski route down the ridge line. The red line shows our second ascent with the anticipation of dropping into the north bowl. The green dash is the whomph spot, the trigger. The yellow dashes represent a fracture line that did not fail. The green line shows our exit after 10 minutes of analyzing our options and position.

""You cannot stay on the summit forever; you have to come down again. So why bother in the first place? Just this: What is above knows what is below, but what is below does not know what is above. One climbs, one sees. One descends, one sees no longer, but one has seen. There is an art of conducting oneself in the lower regions by the memory of what one saw higher up. When one can no longer see, one can at least still know.""   --Rene Daumal
