Huntington Ravine Floor

[^MtnMike^]

Would it be safe to venture into the floor of the ravine now (i.e. below the fan). Is there still a lot of snow? Avalanche danger?

I'd like to make a day hike of this in the coming days (Pinkham Notch to ravine floor and back) to get some photos, but I wasn't sure if it was safe.

Thanks,
^MtnMike^

Yes

There is probably very little snow left there, if any. I last climbed in Huntington on April 16 and the snow was fading fast. Look here to get the picture of what it was like 1 month ago.

At this time of year the main danger is not avalanches but ice fall.

Mo is right

but if you stick, like you said, to the floor of the ravine (say, the area around the huge boulders at the bottom, below the fan), I doubt that falling ice can reach you. There is probably some ice left in Pinacle gully but that is probably it.

Looks like Huntington is pretty bare.

Thanks for the info!
Looks like I'll be heading up soon.
I'll be sure to be wary of any remaining ice.

Thanks again,
