Witnessed long avalanche coming off the rock on climbers left on the route up to Cypress Peak. Video of last half of the slide can be viewed here: https://www.instagram.com/p/CPeabGSDsyv/ There were many debris fields' on that side of the mountain. Conditions were fairly treacherous on the approach, as most of the ice bridges were rotten and required careful attention when crossing. We turned around after punching through in some areas above rushing water near the bottom of the slope.
