Tophat North

South aspects were still shedding ice/rocks off the large clifs just north of the tophat descent.

Somewhat complicated snow structure on northerly aspects. Biggest concern was sluffing of new snow up high, which tended to be loose and long running. Below 1900m later in the day and on more easterly aspects wet slabs were more apparent. at valley bottoms by 15:00 the snowpack was completely isohermal with little structure
