Phantom Couloir/ogden benches

nathanmkristensen, Friday 13th December, 2024 7:30AM
Ogden benches have good consolidation but has wind slabbing in isolated spots about 5-10cm deep. Phantom couloir felt solid the first half but ran into instability about half way up where we found wind slabbing 10cm down, and a deeper failure around 30 cm (see pic). There were Avy crowns on climbers right and left halfway up, so I suspect there was a natural release that cleared the couloir. Otherwise conditions on the benches were great!
