Comments

Went at the end of the valley and try to reach the pass. It did not feel safe to cross the last stretch so we turned back. lot of shooting crack, whumfs and 2 -3 natural release 1 to 1.5 slide on the north facing slopes. some stuff are ready to crack in the canyon. small but big enough to pay attention.
