Comments
20cm fresh, generally supportive crust 40cm down (observed on descent). While touring back up Oboe on the gentle slope (15 degrees), the snowpack seemed hollow (1900m approx). There were two occassions when the crust me around collapsed but didn't fracture. We were on a very gentle slope and there was low consequence. We spaced, kept off convex rolls, observed each other and "tip toed" out.
