A classic repeater is at it again. Reynold's East Face appeared to have naturaled some time during the early morning hours of December 14. From the looks of it (we didn't get closer than looking at it from the east ridge) the top was wind-loaded (still getting heavily loaded as we approached the summit) and it slid all the way to the meadow. Not sure if failed in the new snow or all the way to the October snow that is plauging us this season. It was cool to peer into the belly of the beast on a pretty gnarly day on Saturday. Stay safe, everyone!
