On the west face of the ridge

CTH30 RP

Fist to 40, 1f to base

Also dug just up (and 10m climbers right) off the pocaterra / pocaterra ridge 2580 @ facing sw. 35cm. 15cm windslab over 20cm facets to ground. 20m to climbers right was skiable (thin) w no windslab. At end of day looked like someone popped a small windslab (0.5) skiing down closer to the ridge.
