Cougar creek

<p>On the skin up now signs of instability as we hit TL started to see the wind affected features. We dug a pit at 1940m on NNW aspect the pit built our confidence with the stability but still stayed away from convexities. We made it a fast day due to rise in temps by the time we got close to the base it was obvious that it was warming with tree bombs and heavy snow. Actually skicut a couple of convexities but only one sign of instability a sz0.5 20cm down slab. </p>
