I was yelling down after I heard the scream, later to find it was you. You were the only person I knew down there, so I yelled down to see if everyone was ok.<br /><br />Everyone was in the loose gulley because the first party went that way. They got scared after the bergschrund and roped up right there. This is when Ryan and I were able to solo past them. We were past the 5.5 slab moves when the hurricane of rocks started sailing down.<br /><br />We were the first party of the Ariana/PV line. At the top I think I counted 6/7 parties below us. There were about 8/9 parties on the casual route, 1 on D7, 1 on D1 - essentially the most parties I've ever seen up there<br /><br />Glad you were all right. I watched the parties waiting for PV send off HUGE slides, one went off of Broadway and onto the snow field below. Maybe it'll be the raps for me from now on.Wademhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12350175857819913868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9908744.post-32783007030245967932015-09-09T21:57:51.528-06:002015-09-09T21:57:51.528-06:00Incredible someone would be that casual and oblivi...Incredible someone would be that casual and oblivious to the potential for hurting someone below, but unfortunately, there seem to be a lot of goobers who think you can just charge out there without any knowledge of style or technique that goes with climbing. Glad you weren't hurt seriously! I was thinking a shot at the Casual Route next year might be fun...maybe not.SteelMonkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18431749836659552888noreply@blogger.com
