Suboptimal conditions
Despite a lot of mixed and ice climbing since the gulley doesn´t have a good amount of snow, I managed to top out uneventfully. I think with these conditions, this gulley goes at AD+ right now. One of my partners was hit by a large chunk of ice on the back of the neck after finishing the second rappel. We didn´t go on to the summit ridge due to bad and dangerous conditions. Hopefully that will improve soon!
