Comments

It was tropical climbing up to the STD zone on Disease Ridge - still a strong wind crust with multiple MFcr under it making tricky travel in the steeps. Wind loaded was delightful - little compresses pow but still pow.

Noted two slides above cowboy ridge, looked like size 1-2 they were NE facing. No other signs of instability.
