Three pass shindig

shadcollins5, Saturday 4th January, 2025 12:00AM
Features of note: 1. Apart from the top 5m, the Catamount sneak is filled in. We bootpacked down the first portion to avoid the exposed rock. 2. Catamount glacier was in the white room for our descent however, right before the clouds settled in we managed to get eyes on the glacier and there didn’t appear to be any open holes. 3. The drainage descending to Ursus creek is still boney with open holes / small water falls. Recommend descending the West most drainage to avoid the upper cliff band. 4. A few of the northern facing runs into Ursus Creek slid (size one) over the last couple of days — however there was minimal debris that ran to valley bottom. 5. The upper East aspect of McGill Pass had roughly 25-30cm of soft wind slab and was still forming mid Saturday afternoon. We kicked off two biscuits that ran ~5m off the corner of our kick turns. Propagation was ~1m from skis on a 30* slope.
