There’s that one steepish spot on the bottom of the Tzsil Gl at about 2050m; things felt a bit weird so we had a check-in. Two of us got a somewhat easy failure with a quick hand shear. Failed on a very clear layer about 15cm down. No shooting cracks. No other signs of instability. Consequences of a small slide in that spot were acceptable so we continued cautiously through the steepest section. I would expect that layer to be present on similar aspects (Sheltered NW) at similar elevations.
In other news: Lots of debris in the valley (in a large area below the small rock band guarding the Tzsil Gl). Possibly related is a large, fresh-looking cornice that’s about the size of a medium sized house high above the Tzsil Gl on the ridge to Slalok.
