Quick report
We went up to check out Gibbs and Kidney. Consistent snow worth skinning started around 9.5k before the Gibbs lake. The glopping was pretty frustrating through the trees to gain the bench, bring skin wax. Upon reaching Kidney lake, we could see the wind was not kind to the north face of Gibbs. On our way up the kidney apron we spotted the crown shown near the top of the pass. No other signs of instability were seen and the hot wind board vastly exceeded expectations.
