climber's right side of Glacier Gulch. The main falls are in and look
great, but we did not go underneath the 1800 vertical metres of shallow
cold wind affected snow above them. There was no evidence of recent
avalanche activity. It was -11 all day and the ice fairly brittle, but
thick. We recommend to leave avalanche exposed terrain of the scale to
be found in Glacier Gulch alone for now. There is a lot of good ice
without that.
