We were showered with small ice/snow debris from above. Debris went over the main and right ice lines, and over the rock bulge to the right of the ice. After a second larger event including more snow and ice debris, and a small avalanche from above on the far right side of the gulley everyone departed. Things started moving up above around 11:00am.
