Eric Holle and I climbed the Cross Couloir around 8am that day, I'm sure you were long gone by the time we reached the summit but did you see a guy carrying one ski heading down the North Ridge route of Holy Cross on your way up? We found all kinds of gear that must have been strapped to his pack on the way up the couloir (the other ski, poles, shovel). He signed the register then split it seems like... Just wondering how far behind him we were, and wondering why he didn't retrieve the gear or at least wait for someone to carry it up. Must have been shaken by the fall. Tim ps I added some markings to your pic to describe where we found the stuff.

Re: Nice trip report!Yes I did.
I thought the whole scenario was strange, but decided not to get involved, since I had a long ridge run and I got off to a late start.
