Climbing Conditions

We were on the second pitch of Snowline (beside Moonlight) today at 12:30 when an avalanche ran over the climb 2 Low 4 Zero. It was a wet slide that would have knocked a climber off the route. The Evan Thomas climbs have an ATES rating of Simple but there is a bit of a start zone above that climb, as shown in the photo. There is still more snow that could slide here and the start zone got sun all morning until about 1:30 or so.
