Comments

Very similar observations to the other group up today, but of note a more recent size 1/1.5 @1600m that on investigation failed down 55cm on some 5mm surface hoar. (Pic #1) Poking around at and above that elevation was able to pick preserved SH out in multiple hand shears.

Pic #3 is from a NE aspect 1750m, wind exposed bump.
