<p>The FSR has been obstructed by recent wet slab avalanches between size 0.5-2. It seemed like these originated from the rocky cliffs above the trail. We skinned on from there cautiously and stayed away from the sunny southern aspect. A firm sun crust was found on all solar aspects and new snow (about 5 cm) slid on this crust easily. </p>
