Comments

Stunning blue sky day! There was obvious wind loading/drifting on the way up and crunchy surfaces on windward slopes. As you see in the photo, a lot of snow was being moved on the day. The sun warmed things up a lot in the time we were there, as we got near the steeper higher slopes it looked like some cornices may have fallen - we didn't go up to find out.
