Edit to add one of my favorite crowns of the trip from camp. Looked more interesting up close but neglected to get a picture. Windslab starting up high and stepping down at the 1900-2400m* elevation band (elevation that most avalanches were observed) where the snow would have been sticky and wet during the storm on the 19th-20th giving it better slab qualities then elevations above. In this case the convex roll below the bottom crown also probably helped.

Also to note that we probed 240cm at 1900m on the toe of the glacier where we camped on the 20th.
