Quick report

The protected higher elevations of the lines in Huntington were loaded. The reactivity seemed to be variable in lower elevations of the ravine. There was moderate blowing snow until about 1500 when it started to lighten up. I did a good few hand sheers on my way up and the pockets of wind affected snow in the Fan had surprisingly bonded well to the bed surface pulling at medium-hard. When I got to the buttress between Odell's and Pinnacle where there was a small but deeper slab I got two different hand shears that failed on isolation, the interesting part it wasn't on the ice crust.
