We came up on this avalanche that had happened recently. There was a party looking at it and the large blocks associated, the said they did not trigger it but had heard people high marking in the area. There where fresh tracks on the flanks of the avalanche so I think it may have been triggered by a party, but cannot confirm.
The top was very wind loaded and broke down to near the ground, there where rocks visible on the bed surface.
Although the chunks look hard the where 1F at the hardest but mostly F and 4F.
