Bryant Peak Couloir

Comments:

This large avalanche appeared fresh. It either happened Thursday 3/31 afternoon or Friday 4/1 morning. It covered several sets of tracks.

We could not see the source for the slide, but it appears to have shed from the climber's right-hand cliffs about mid chute, then funneled down the couloir. Several very large blocks were seen in the debirs.
