Description
Ascend this gully to a fork above. At the Y is a thin mixed climb, that often doesn't touch down. To the left is an easier WI3 pitch, name Unnamed Gully on this website. Round The Corner is up and right.
P1. A nice pillar, sometimes with funky, funky ice. Snapped off a pick in cold, cold conditions. 70 feet or so. 2 bolt anchors at the top of the 1st pitch, although they can be buried in the ice/snow.
P2. Above this 1st pitch lies another WI3 pitch. You can walk off left for the 2nd pitch back to the top of P1.
Aesthetic setting though you still see/hear I-70.
Note, at least one good climber has been taken on this climb from an avalanche.
ATES (Avalanche Terrain Exposure Scale) Rating
As determined by Climb Avy Aware:
- ATES 3: Complex
ATES Scale:
Non-Avalanche: 0 (Routes with no exposure to avalanches except small sluffs and spindrift.)
Simple: 1 (Routes with brief exposure to very low frequency avalanches starting from above or crossing occasional short slopes.)
Challenging: 2 (Routes with long exposure to low frequency avalanches or brief exposure to high frequency avalanches starting from above or crossing a few short slopes.Options to reduce exposure.)
Complex: 3 (Routes with long exposure to high frequency avalanches starting from above or crossing steep slopes with terrain traps below. Minimal options to reduce exposure.)
Extreme: 4 (Routes with long and sustained exposure to very high frequency avalanches starting from above and crossing multiple steep slopes with terrain traps below. No options to reduce exposure.)
