Ross slide path 1

<p>Previous party had just triggered a very small soft slab around 1800m, N facing, on a convex roll with just a few trees around. We dug a pit next to it. HS 280cm. CT5 30cm down, CT15 failing simultaneously at 40 and 45cm down. Weak layer comprised of rounded/decomposed stellars and some surface hoar. Also got ECTP10 down 30cm. Other parties reported triggering multiple small soft slabs on convexities within the slide path. </p>
