Woke up Easter morning and heard about some fresh snow... Checked the avy conditions and it looked like they posted a special bulletin for the weekend. We had originally planned on doing the East Gulley, but given the conditions we made a backup plan just in case. After watching stuff pinwheel off the East Face during the approach, we decided to play it safe and climb the East Ridge from the saddle of Cave Ridge. It was an uneventful slog, but the weather was nice and it felt great to be out tromping around in some fresh pow.
