Description

Super fun for me but kinda got a wake up in the backcountry. Some guy above me in the chute got caught and carried in a wet slide. A rock slide went off in the chute next to me and parc slid down all of pipeline because he didn’t have crampons or an ice axe. Lesson learned, start earlier, bring all the right gear
