Avalanche

Saw a point release rip down a NW facing gully just climbers right of Racing Stripe Right. Late afternoon sun was baking the upper slopes and the release happened in a shallow area at the top of the gully. Debris pile was minimal but the slide would have definitely knocked climbers off. Didn't see any other slides but ice fall was picking up mid afternoon.
