surfaces once you are in the gully. Established trail to turn the Pencil (which
fell off some time ago). There was a small cornice collapse off of climbers left
hand cliffs on the last tier. Chunks fell down to the centre and left side and
away from the climbing line on the right. I say small because I was on the climb
in the late 80s when a big cornice collapsed from the same cliff edge and it left
several pickup truck sized craters in the snow slope below.
Route is in good shape with most of it presenting new ice surfaces.
Happy trails
