[MCR] Rockies - Lake O'Hara September 20-21

Further to Larry’s report, we witnessed a subsequent rockfall event from Mt Odaray / Tarrant Buttress at about 11:am on Sunday September 21^st.  See photos of dust cloud and the light colored scar after the dust settled.  The snow is melting from the last big dump, so expect more rockfall to occur on Mt. Odaray as well as on other peaks in the area.

 

The larches are in superb color, it’s definitely worth a hiking/climbing trip to the Lake O’Hara area while the weather holds.
