I was up yesterday for a glorious day of sun, fun and dead battery in camera:doh:
Since I hadn't been on Hillman's in a number of seasons (that and the little headwall being unskiable), I figured I'd give HH a shot. Hiking up, it seems we weren't taking the path that I had remembered. I was dismissing this to old age/new onset Alzheimers, but then the narrow trail took a turn and we were in the outrun of the slide path.
We hiked up to about 100 vertical below the top, were the krumholtz overpowered the snowpack and jumped into the corn, which turned into cream lowerdown and finally into soup. When we go to the lower portion of the out run, there were some large bolders in the path below where we had turned onto the outrun. These look new, or am I just not remembering what HH looks like? If that's the case, this must have been a pretty big slide.
