Attempted an approach of Mongolia Bowl from the x-country ski trail where the main drainage intersects. Deadfall needs another 1-2m for adequate burial. It was an absolutely horrendous approach. However, we did gain the ridge skiers right and dropped down into the next gully which joins the main at the x-country trail. It had great snow when we decided to bail. Strictly BTL. Cold, no signs of instabilities this low, well sheltered and EXTREMELY well anchored. Ski pen approximately 8cm.
