Early Season Ice (Sort of)

Pike and I taking shelter from the wind halfway up Odell's Gully

Hiked into Huntington Ravine 11/1 realized how out of shape I am. Ice conditions weren't great, thin, hollow ice over running water most of the way. Pinnacle gully was still a waterfall as was much of Odell's but we still managed the right side of Odell's. Super easy low angle ice to brutal swimming through waist deep snowdrift for the last 500 feet of the gully led to high winds in the alpine gardens and finally a cozy night in the hermit lake lean-tos.

A great trip overall, my shoulder's killing me but I can't wait to get back next week, the ice should be better and I'll be in better shape.
