Comments

We did a column test on a slope we wanted to travel down, had a reaction on the third elbow swing. We decided to change plans and once the sun came out things got reactive quickly. Came across a human triggered avalanche in danger basin and saw a slide come down in Avalanche Alley as soon as the sun hit it.
