<p>We skinned up the Fingers, icy crust below 1100m. 100m from the ridge of the 2nd finger some sluff was created from snow dropping off a tree, creating a size 2 avalanche roughly 50-75ft wide that ran 500m. Avalanche took a 40ft tree down with it that ran the length of the slide. Group of 4, we had a partial burial of one member.</p>
