Ridge Top

This is an exciting view. I wish I didn't have to work yesterday so I could have come along.

Very scary

Under that snow where the slide is at there is a huge slick rock slab. That is one dangerous face for snow slides given the angle and location. One climber could trigger that whole thing off.

Re: Very scary

Sometimes looking at snow skews perceptive things like steep angles, but because this is nearly a side-view that steepness can be seen quite well. You are correct... it certainly does not help that it is one gigantic slab underneath!
