Quick report

As our party of three were rappelling out of the Ford/Stetner couloirs, a large wet slide came down on top of us. Luckily, we were off to the side on our rap station and it completely missed us. After getting to the top of the Teepee glacier, we heard another slide which ended up being a second wet slide exiting the Stetner couloir. The parties both above and below us were also accounted for and made it out safely.
