Comments
Skinned up by Vaux moriane. It's easy to avoid the avi debrie if you stick hard climbers left coming out of vally bottom.
Freezing levels in the afternoon were around 2000m on solar aspects. Cloudy from late morning on. The sun in the morning made for sticky skinning coming out of vally bottom. Overlooker bowl had a lot of debris in the middle but was easy to find lines that avoided it.
Top third of avalanche crest was powder. The middle bench was debrie and the bottom third was heavy mashed potatoes. Some buried wind slab/wind press in isolated areas.
