Good ice climbing on Green Monster. Several climbing parties and lots of hikers out enjoying the nice day. It's worth noting that several steep gullies slid on the way to GM, depositing a sizeable amount of avy debris directly beside the very well travelled trail. A little bit bigger of a slide and it would have easily covered the trail, with potential to bury an unsuspecting victim. Lots (100+?) of people on the trail throughout the day hiking to see GM so pretty good odds of an incident if it did slide bigger.
