Evening Ridge Whumpfing

alecfjanssens, Thursday 1st December, 2022 5:15PM
<p>When setting a skin track, we encountered a large number of whumpfs, and shooting cracks that propagated surprisingly far on relatively mellow terrain. This had us turn around early during the approach and pick a very conservative line out of the area. Be cautious until the storm slab settles. </p>
