That looks like a lot of fun! Great pictures too. Any rockfall to speak of? How stable was the remaining snowpack?

One rock fell early on, but the snow was pretty soft, so the rock stopped before it could do any damage.

Sam, I missed that part on the ride home about your having to cliff hang, glad you made it back unharmed, we kept looking over the edge of some of those cliffs wondering if you were at the creek bottom slogging it back and fourth over from one side to the other or you found a decent route out, it all worked out in the end - nice report Very Happy
