Rain crust with underlying facets up to ~2300m. The crust did not support our body weight, but was up to 3 cm thick in places.

In the bowl below the climb at ~2400m snow varied from 10-150cm.

Soft slab formation occurring on the surface in this bowl.

No signs of instability were noted in the snowpack today.
