Main Gully


A Mountain Washington Valley Classic.
Skin the Gulf of Slides Trail as far as it goes, and you will eventually be funneled directly to the base. From here, you can begin boot packing. This wide and beautiful gully, lined with short fir trees on either side, is broken only by a non vertical ice bulge in the middle. Steep turns in the upper half lead to the ice bulge, where you can easily skirt it to either side. Lower angle turns down the run out funnel into a low angle drainage with tight trees. Try not to tangle up as you make your way back to GOS trail. Like all the GOS gullies, this is a textbook terrain trap.
