Mt Washington crevasses: Pictures?

[hikingfish]

Hi,
I've been reading about the crevasses that are currently on Mt Washington and I was wondering if anyone had pictures of them? I was there only 2-3 weeks ago and I find it hard to believe big crevasses would developped, however, what do I know

Thanks!

Mt Washington Obs

From the Snow Ranger today

The Lip has some of the most dangerous openings in the snow including a deep crevasse extending out from the main waterfall hole. Due to the magnitude of hazards in the area, the Lip is one of the last places I'd want to visit today!

Sometimes there are photos here

Thanks Jim,
I've been monitoring to ranger page for a couple of weeks now, however I didn't see the link for the pictures. A couple of the pictures show fracture lines, but they leave a lot to the imagination as far as I'm concerned.

Still, it's better than nothing!

Not Without Peril account of a death in the waterfall crevasse

Nicholas Howe reports in his book Not Without Peril: 150 Years of Misadventure on the Presidential Range of New Hampshire about Cheryl Weingarten's death after sliding into the waterfall crevasse on May 1, 1994. To recover her body the rescuers rigged up using 300 feet of rope and descended into the crevasse wearing immersion suits. They found her 60 feet down. She wasn't the first person to die that way and probably is not the last.

I had no idea there was that much snow on Mt Washington.

I had no idea there was that much snow on Mt Washington.

Snow blows down from the plateaus above into Tuckerman Ravine. The accumulations in the ravine are much deeper than the basic snow fall.
