Guide John Mackey soloed the Trap Dyke in Avalanche Pass 02-16-09 and had a stellar day.  Blue bird skies and firm neve snow.  He said the ice in the Trap Dyke itself was amazing.  Congratulations to John for going for it alone.  If anyone is interested in climbing routes like this and the North Face of Gothics in the next coming weeks now is the time to do it under great conditions.
