E Ridge in Humphreys Cirque @ 11,650 ft

During a lap off of North Core Ridge, we experienced 6-10 ft shooting cracks on a small cross loaded convexity on the north facing slope facing the humphreys cirque. In that area, windslabs felt stubborn and we did not experience any other signs of instability. We toured to the Humphreys saddle from there and dug a pit on the east facing skin-track ridge. Height of snow was 390 cm and our results were.... CT11Q2.5@378 (12cm down). CT16Q2@321 (69cm down). ECTN13@378. ECTP28@321
