Comments

North End of Danger Basin on South East face below rock outcrop, 30meters wide and runout was 100 meters long. Slab thickness estimated at 60 to 80cm. This was the only sign of instability in the area that was visible. Clouds on the West side of the ridge with strong winds, temperature was significantly warmer on the East side with minimal clouds and areas with sun.
