Further west of Avalanche Gulch lies Giddy Giddy Gulch on the route toward and above Hidden Valley. This smaller bowl seems easily negotiated when you first come into the clearing at it's base, but depending on your speed and endurance, it can consume hours to ascend. Here climbers are ascending Giddy Giddy Gulch during the middle of the afternoon when softened snow conditions can make for laborious exercise. High camps can be established at several places nine thousand feet in elevation or higher between Casaval Ridge and Hidden Valley.
