[QUOTE="Manbearcat, post: 6680604, member: 6696971"] 1) A series of boulders are chaotically strewn about near the terminating point of the avalanche's leading edge (not far from you). These hold up a mass of heavy snowpack that would all but love to continue its onward march down the mountain. Perturbing even one of these boulders would trigger a continuance of this mass, thus leaving the trail above you a mess, but a passable one. 2) A dark shape cuts an ominous figure against the overcast sky. Wings unfurled with a span of some 20-30 feet. Draconic body terminating in a tail with a massive stinger. The hunting wyvern banks left and out of your sight-line, obviously hunting the upper peak territory or perhaps making a go for the lower slopes on the opposite side where wild goat are sure to congregate. 3) The mass of earthen debris, snow, and ice is funneled exclusively through the winding depression of the pass. Flanking either side is a hard climb, meandering between 50 to 75 degrees of slick slope. The left flank of the escarpment is mostly bereft of good handholds. The right-side is strewn with random boulders jutting out from the face. Speaking of "anchoring with a rope", one boulder in particular, near the top where things level out, is like a pointed like a dull spike on a stegasaur's tail. It would readily accept a tied rope.
