Adit Ridge and the Corral

<p>Recent cycle of Sz 1 slabs natural directly below ridgetops on N and NW asp in alpine. A number of ski cuts and accidentals in steeper alpine start zones to size 2. Two size 3's noted on N and NW asp of Fissile with deep crowns at about 2300m. Western-most looked quite recent. Test pits at 2000m on NW asp revealed temperature gradient down 40 cm from surface with several easy sheers (sudden planar) down 15/23/32 cm and some CTH (26) down 83cm on density change. We avoided big and unsupported N to NW asp...</p>
