Bourgeau Right

<p>Warm and sunny day on Bourgeau Right, we topped out and began descending at 12:00. Things deteriorated very rapidly, culminating with a section of ice collapsing at 1pm just as we were doing our final rappel. The first 3 pitches of climbing were swept by the collapse and some small sections of ice collapsed in the following 15 minutes. Definitely a hot day to be up there, and wouldn't have wanted to be there any later.</p>
