My partner and went up to the PC ridge to look at the S Monitor avalanche and decided since we were out walking around we would take a look at No Name and see if had also avalanched, and it hadn't. We slithered down the ridge on the left side of the bow to a good spot to transition and head back to the car. We used our slight down track on the ridge to climb back up and that's when we remotely triggered the avalanche. We had ZERO intentions of skiing it and while we were transitioning I said to my my partner that I thought that there was a 100% chance that it would slid even if you thought of skiing it. We experienced numerous large collapses on our travels throughout the day.
