Heading to Huntington Ravine for some ice climbing at the end of January. For part of the trip, we are planning to climb up one of the gullies and continue past the Alpine Garden and descend into the Great Gulf. Overnight in the Gulf – then climb the headwall of the Gulf to the summit of Washington.
Anyone climbed the Gulf headwall in the winter? I’ve been up it in the fall (wet/ice/but no snow). Obviously, the conditions (weather and snow) are key. Just wondering what to expect in general. We will have our climbing gear with us if needed (since we ascended one of the Huntington ice climbs).
Any info is appreciated. Thanks.
