What time of day did that peel off and how long after you were off the ridge? Looks like your route along the ridge was safe but the crown must have been close to your tracks.
Love the TR guys. I'm planning on a similar schedule this July. I suspect we will have a bit more snow. Where you guys able to glissade either sides of Bonney Pass?

Excellent picturesI never really gave much thought to Gannett Peak...until now. I need to head in there for awhile.
Thanks for the stoke!

Re: Skeets?They were real bad until we reached our campsite the first night. The second night was a bit warmer and there were a few at our campsite.

Re: AvalancheWe did not witness the avalanche. It could have been days to weeks old.

GannettPeak is one I will be marking down for next year. This was a great trip report and had wonderful pictures. Thank you for sharing. I've got the fever.

Re: GlissadingWe did not glissade either side of Bonney Pass. Conditions for glissading will likely be better in July...
