Comments
The first two photos are from the Cirque Forepeak Skier remote and Skier controlled avalanches that we reported Tuesday. The third photo is looking down the couloir after cleaning out a slab avalanche before skiing.
Rope beta, bring minimum two 50m ropes in order to make the full rappel in one go. There is some tatt on a horn that can be used as a mid anchor but there isn’t much room at it.
