South Gully, Huntington Ravine: 3/15/09

[Jason Berard]

I was asked if I wanted to head out with a couple of friends to climb South Gully in Huntington Ravine this Sunday, and I said "sure! what the hell!"

Sunday turned out to be a gorgeous day up there! absolutely bluebird!
we could see the tracks from where the snowcat had headed up to aid the two fallen climbers from the day before. I hope they recover quickly.

The climb was a new experience for sure! I'm not sure that level of exposure is something I would like to experience again, but I'm glad I did it! Here are some pics from the day. None while I was climbing I was a little too focused to shoot pics.

Thanks for posting photo of Tucks; looks like the headwall is filling in nicely over that avy scar from a couple of weeks ago.

Jason,

Congrats, couldn't have picked a better day. A friend and I climbed Right Gully in Tucks. How was the route, any ice near the top?

Thanks.

thanks guys. It ranked right up there as one of the best weather days I've had so far in the winter in the Whites!

I thought so, too.
It did like there had been a recent slide in Left Gully ( just to the left of center in the tuck's pic)?
