Quick report

We found wind affected snow and sastrugi near the summit and at the ridge-line(near the summit) of the E face. Yet, no signs of instability. We also found tons of medium sized surface hoar @ 9,100ft. The surface hoar at the elevation stayed fully formed for the entirety of the day. We saw a refreeze cycle start to happen ~2pm as well as breakable crusts on exposed E aspects. We presumed the crust only formed due to the temp change.
