Description
Surprised this isn’t documented anywhere, including the New England Ice Guide. It’s got a much more reliable ice pitch than Great Gully, and a simpler approach compared to PF Flyer. Still a lot of walking for one pitch of ice, but makes a great alpine climbing or ski mountaineering objective.
From the base of Great Gully, locate the curved gully to lookers right of Great Gully. Bushwack to a short distance to a narrow snow gully. Climb for a few hundred feet to a short ice pitch, WI1 or so. A little more snow leads to a 70 foot pitch of WI3. Climb this to access the upper snow gully, which slowly lessens in angle and trends diagonally up and left to gain the ridge.
Descent:
From here you can descend any of King Ravine gullies (hopefully you brought your skis). Or walk off via Lowe’s Path.
