Quick Observation

Avalanche control results from the Simpson area slidepaths. Conditions were not as touchy here as on Whymper, but still produced slabs with most shots. Generally, results were smaller than on Whymper, but still deep, just less propagation. The exception to this was a wide, deep slab on our Simpson 3 avalanche path that failed on a steep convex roll at treeline. This was ~ 80 cm deep and failed near the ground.
