Comments
Info passed on by Scott and Erika, ACMG guides.
Notable:
Ski touring across flats in middle notch just before Kees & Claire Hut.
Sr 20m flat.
W aspect 1930m
70 m wide 100 m long
Crown thickness 70-200cm
Size 2.5 with deposit up to 2m deep
35 deg at top fracture on smooth convex roll becoming a steep windswept rocky outcrop followed by a gully over the summer trail. Clear evidence that the summer trail through the lower notch should not be used in winter.
