Comments
Dismally flat light for photography but below you can see the debris and part of the partially filled in crown. It looked like a sluff came down and brought a bit of slab with it when it hit the apron. Steep cliffy terrain between Mongo No and Barietto.
Comments
Joey was right, winds were moving snow. We could feel some small, slabby structure forming. A few tiny slabs were kicked off by skis.
