Doing it all in one go or staying at Horse Camp/Helen Lake? Either way Godspeed it's a fun one. Looks like it's going to be great weather too.

Rangers actually recommended against Avalanche Gulch starting the day before our attempt. We went up Clear Creek on the east face and set up camp around ~8700'. Got up at 1:15a for the summit push but red flag warning started overnight, and there were literally 90mph+ gusts knocking hikers to the ground above 10k. We turned back at mushroom rock at about 13000'. I don't think anyone made the summit that day.
Next time I'm going earlier in the season so I can climb up and ski down AG.
