Musical bumps

<p>Traversing back from russet lake after doing spearhead on Saturday. Headed back over musical bumps in whiteout with super high winds, accidentally traversed 40m too low trying to access lower flute bowl entrance and stepped off a wind lip which had a cornice growing on it, triggered a small size 1 which didn’t propagate. Cornice was completely invisible in the flat light, we were actively trying to avoid being too low but got caught out on this one. Luckily nothing slid, just small debris from cornice but gave us a fright. </p>
