John Kelson and I climbed the Right Hand Falls in Glacier Gulch today. After plus 7 degrees and heavy rain on Sunday, temperatures have dropped to a more congenial -9. The ice is still a bit thin in places and there is a lot of water running, but it's climbable at a comfortable grade III with little fear of avalanches. The right hand variant is thin, wet and has a lot of daggers. The other lines are almost there.
