Mountaineering


Odell Gully in Huntington Ravine on Sunday, January 29th. Moderate avalanche danger, 65-85mph winds at the summit and blowing snow into the gullies...and really blowing across the Alpine Gardens.


Travis zips up after belaying me up the first pitch, the only real technical section. If there had been stops for belaying it would have been a whole lot colder.
