Comments

Coverage in area was good enough. Wind affected on the ridge only. Skied NE facing slide path. Another party skied wind affected portion off ridge with no result. We entered lower. Sluffing within the top 15cm. CT and ECT gave easy progressive compressions in the top 15cm. The next metre or so was surprisingly well bonded. HS200cm at 2050m.
