Quick report

Large wet loose debris likely triggered from the hanging glacier ice fall. Ran ~700’. Lots of smaller wet loose scattered around the white salmon basin, all released in shaded aspects. Many glide cracks. No cracking/collapsing experienced from wind loading. Travel between 3k-6k was very slow, difficult and variable. Our high point was 6800’ at Winnie’s slide.
