Quick report

Cracking
isolated
Collapsing
widespread

This weak layer that exists is spooky, the obvious storm slabs on top add to the overall size of a potential avalanche if one triggers this layer. When crossing the creek we had a large collapse with a delayed shooting crack that traveled roughly 85’, whumphing was wide spread on our tour and notably when we arrived at our pit site.
