Re: if this was a huge oneit's a hole in the snow halfway up, on the left side, with the snow cut off straight above
maybe that's not a hole after an avalanche?
I guess that is a large part of the old ice and snow, which has fallen off the face of the peak. That type of avalanches are very different from the one int he photo, as those are debris-filled, heavy, very noicy and unpredictable. The one in the photo is a swift, fast flowing powder snow avalanche.

Great pictureHi Corax,
thansk for posting all the G pictures. Good to see some big, but lesser known mountains here. I love this area and can't wait ti get back. This picture reminded me of the constant avalanches on closeby Chogolisa, well shot.

Re: Great pictureThanks Harry!
Yes, there are a lot of HUGE avalanches in this area. Scary, but very fascinating.

Re: Amazing!!Thanks!
It was amazing, thrilling, scary and beautiful at the same time.
The sight, the sound, the ground shaking and finally the cold ice crystals arriving.

Re: nice shot!Thanks!
I think the Millet tent is quite similar, but I have never seen it in reality. The tent I use on this photo is an Integral Desings. I like it a lot.

Re: Must have been...I'm still happy I didn't pitch my tent where I first planned to set camp :-)
