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.

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.
