Climbed up to South peak of Rock. Turned around due to weather. Wet snow all the way up, with 4" of new snow above 5500ft wet and on a rainy crust. Made skinning to South summit tough and on ski down east side triggered a two small wet loose slides. Snow slid very easily on rain crust. Entire cirque around Rock Lake had signs of wet-loose slides, with a few small slabs having released recently. Wet new snow on rain crust above 5500ft slides readily. About 4-6" of snow.
