I was in the Spearhead today and noticed a couple of sizable new ice cliffs at the bottoms of very popular decents. They might be difficult to see even in good light. The first shot is of the East Decker Glacier. It looks like more of this slope calved into Decker Lake this past summer. The second is the bottom of the Blackcomb Glacier. Probably over 6m at its highest. Lots of ice chunks in the area as well. These cliffs would make nasty last turns... Dave Sarkany Sent from my Samsung device
