Comments
Numerous wet loose avalanches were seen and heard throughout the day raining down the cliffs. These were relatively small when looking at the debris but powerful. We could hear them thundering down. A few probable size 2 debris piles were observed from previous avalanches. Widespread wet activity on solars.
Comments
The ridge was lined with large cornices. Walking along the ridge we saw some large crevasses (crevices?) where the cornices are crawling their way downhill.
Comments
I didn't think this would be worth sharing but it seems like a popular zone
