Lots of snow in the giant ascent gully made for a fun ascent & descent. It should be a pure drudgery once the snow is gone. We were very cautious as the top layer was not stable under the hot sun. Lots of sign of recent slides and we observed 2 slides which were slow moving but big enough to knock out and carry a person.
