Quick Observation
The access trail is mostly skinable few walking sections (thin patches and fallen trees). Still low tide in the upper basin with lots of sharks in the tide pools. The fan below consists of a boiler plate iso layer that continues ~1/4 the way up the line. Starting at the first choke a dense windslab begins to form and progressively gets thicker as you ascend towards the gate. Multiple hand shears and a CT produced moderate RP results down 15 @ ~2100m and down 25-30 @ ~2200m. HS in the chute is about 1-1.5m. Apparently it’s not going anywhere so we decided to save it for another day.
