Who: Two climbers
Where: Dream Weaver alpine climb, Mt. Meeker, Rocky Mountain National Park
Their mistake: Unclear. Not sure if they checked avy conditions or not
What happened: Two climbers were climbing the Dream Weaver alpine climb route. They were on the first or one of the lower pitches of the climb when a small slab avalanche broke above them.
The two climbers were “taken for a ride,” but they were otherwise uninjured. New snow on top of old snow combined with cold, strong winds are creating weak layers and increasing the chances of avalanches in the area.
