W flank Mt Seymour

msb2, Saturday 8th February, 2025 10:38PM

<p>Soggy conditions on isothermal snowpack all the way to the top of Mt Seymour. We triggered numerous wet loose (size 0.5 to 1.5 - the steeper the slope the bigger the sluff. Basically anything remotely steep would go on very slow very wet sluff). Numerous glide cracks opening up everywhere - some of them as wide a meter. Snowpack still very thick above 900 m.</p>
