Comments
Party of 2 climbed up the Gutentight Couloir then while descending the upper person was hit by a large sluff (?) which carried them approximately 350 m through the choke of the couloir and out onto the fan below. Arm and back injuries and helmet smashed. Avalanche was probably a size 2 that ran a long distance in Extreme terrain.
