Comments
Pretty cold and windy day at Balu Pass, any intentions of going further were stopped by strong winds going up the valley as we topped out at the pass. The top portion was getting pretty wind affected and crusty, but got real nice below that.
Limited signs of instabilities where we went. Frequent flyer had slid and there was a size 1.5 natural on STS that hadn't gone too far or too big.
