Comments
Thought I saw a crown from the summit of swan peak, but figured it was just ski tracks. On the climb of Swan Peak it definitely looked like the gut slid (starting from skiers right of the gut proper). This was especially eye opening since I often considered staying just right of the gut to be safe terrain but the fall line often wants to pull you in that direction while you're skiing.
