Comments

Above this house of sky we noted a large pile (potentially sz 3ish) of debris with no noticeable crown. Did not slide over climb, but was very close. Also lots of cracking and whumpfing throughout the day, so we decided not to attempt the WI4 pitch above the climb. Actual climb seems to have lots of snow from the recent large snowfalls, which has made the pitches a lot shorter.
