We stayed in the bottom of the valley given the high temps. Did watch a group make the catamount climb but this seemed foolish given the state of the snowpack. Spent a lot of the day postholing up to my chest. Sled got stuck anytime i sawed through the top layer. No cohesion below 50 cm.
Top 30-50 wet heavy wind loaded slab. Everything below this layer was extremely faceted and loose. Observed lots of pinwheeling on all aspects.
Some would say tropical.
