Big Cornice - 2nd Yellowmule Buck Ridge

Cornices present a few different problems.  First - They can break back farther than you might expect.  This problem needs to be considered when traveling along ridgelines. Second - slopes below cornices are often heavily wind loaded. Staying off of slopes below cornices is always a good idea.  Photo GNFAC
