I was hiking back to the shelters once in mid-May from the bowl.. The Lower Headwall was REALLY undermined so we hiked the whole way.
As we were going a guy asked about skiing it - we told him it wasn't a good idea..
Walking down the path we could see the guy start his attempt and immediately lost a ski into a crack in snow over the rushing creek. He went to get it... Fell into the ******* creeck and disappeared into it. We were freaking out until we heard him pop up like 20 feet downstream through another crack... He climbed out - reached in to grab his ski and fell in AGAIN!!! And once more popped up like a 10 feet down the rushing creek under the snow. At that point I stopped caring.. And just shook my head...

stupid...
 
One and done for me..but I would still like to hike and at least hang out and watch. Not climbing it again.
