Quick report

Instability started after our initial traverse at 9 AM and was very evident by 12 PM when we were traversing back. The sun was shining directly on the south face of Pinnacle.
Avalanche
South side of Pinnacle had evidence of fresh wet-loose slides. We could also see a large, fresh wet-loose slide on the backside of Plummer. While traversing from Pinnacle to Castle on the south face around 12 pm, we pushed down debris maybe every 40 feet that turned into small wet-loose avalanches. Another team was going to traverse from Castle to Pinnacle, but told them to call it off given the conditions.
