Comments
While ascending Log Cabin yesterday I was watching a group well above me starting to descend. They remotely triggered a size 2.5 off a rocky cliff feature with plenty of shallow anchors. (Group was approx. 75-100m away from fracture)
Avalanche was size 2.5, 60m crown, 100cm to 30cm depth and ran approx 250m. Failure plane appeared to be on the early season melt-freeze/facet combo near ground.
Needless to say it is really touchy out there. Up to that point my trip included plenty of thumping and shooting cracks on drifts and winds slabs. It still very early season, be safe out there.
