Comments

Attempted to get in to peyto hut but turned at the moraine. Had one wumph while gaining the moraine from creek bottom and then remote triggered a 1.5-2 from 60M away (First Photo shows skin track). Failure on the persistent slab varying from 20-50cm thick. 2 other size 1.5-2 spotted from presumably yesterday or overnight (second photo), both looked to have failed on the persistent as well but didn’t get close enough to confirm. After triggering the remote attempted to ski cut more of the slope while roped up but no success
