Comments
Thurs Dec 30, 13:00. Easy hand shears on way up above ~ 2150 m on a planar layer, though unconsolidated.
Quick pit at 2230 m on SE aspect on 30 deg slope:
HS 165; 165-140cm Fist; CT4 uneven P @ 140cm; 140-110cm 4F-1F; CT15 RP @ 110cm (Dec 2 layer); 1F below.
A fair amount of stuffing on descent; and a ski cut at ~2275 m on a lee SE slope, on a convex roll broke off a small 0.5 slide below the cut: ~10 m wide, down ~ 25 cms, 50m run. Cracking noted. (no involvement)
