Goats Eye

Poked around up to goats eye. HS was 120 at 2000m. Lots of wind travel up at the eye and most of the snow in the alpine had been wind scoured. We decided to only go up to the obvious strip of trees at tree line. Started hearing whomping at 1910. After some more loud whomps we decided the mountain didn’t want us up there and we backed off. Skiing down you could feel the snow starting to stiffen and slab up.

Dug a quick pit before dropping at around 2000m, HS 120. Did not perform a ECT due to wanting to leave quick. Test results were - CTE 7 SC down (35) on FC. The layer that failed was 1F+ 60cm down (dec 2nd) crust that was 10cm thick, knife thickness with facets on both sides.
