Wet Slides on Ice Climb Approaches

Date
Activity
Ice Climbing

Up at G2 on Sunday (2/23) small wet sloughs were coming down to the left & right of the climb all day. A couple bigger wet slides had totally taken out sections of the bootpack approach from G2 to Hangover. Saw big pinwheels and sticky snow all day. Most stuff available to slough probably fell already but stay alert up there.
