top looking down BOOLY Ridge chute... cornice broke off leaving an amazing line, shovelled most of it, need a final touch up to complete one of the most epic climbs of my life..

june035.jpg


looking up the last 150 ft of the Booly chute

june036.jpg
the right hander is too KRAZY, but straight up should be doable

june042.jpg


right hander has the tight spot to deal with...

Hopefully the sun shines and I can get these last two chutes done and call it a season... but if anyone else wants a crack at em first . I'll film ya,,,lol
