BETA PHOTO: Multi Gully as seen from 86 -- your passenger will...


Description 

Depending on how well it's formed, the crux is either at the chimney or at the very top exit move.


Location 

Double-rope rappel or walk off to the left towards Wilmington (walk off is a pain - no trail - pretty alpine exit).


Protection 

Screws and small trad rack if it's thin (fist-sized cam for the crux chimney if the ice is thin).

Not fun to follow another party up. An inexperienced climber will rain ice chunks down the narrow chute. Only time I've ever been bloodied. Be the first there in the morning or just wait for the party ahead to rap down.

I'll second Adam's comment. There's really no sense in hopping on the route with a party above whether they're experienced or inexperienced. Ice will inevitably be sent down the gully, and you WILL be in the firing line. A short first pitch up to the cedars on the left will set you up for a money 2nd pitch to the top.
