Description:
This gully starts out with easy ice (WI1/2) which if you pitch it out is a couple hundred feet until you get to an obvious steep pillar. This is the crux pitch that goes at WI4/5 depending on conditions. After that it's some walking to another pitch of about WI3. From there you can rig some threads to get down or continue up to the top for about 1000 feet of easy snow and ice.Descent Options:

Soloed up to the base of the pillar. Super soft. Buddy lead the pillar sans pack. Instead of spending a bunch of time for him to lower down and carry it back up I tried to carry his and my pack. WI4/5 with 2 packs sucks! Especially cleaning screws, so pumped. Decided to go to the top. Not recommended unless you really feel like an alpine day. Descent not very fun and long.
