Quick report

Toured up Bardini Canyon to ~9800, lots of wind scoured/ stripped areas observed. The gully of the canyon on the way up was hard pack and made for fast skin up. Lots of beautiful wind sculptures and dynamic textures coming down. Although no major instabilities were observed beyond some isolated cracking underfoot on the way up , the snow pack felt confusing. Still fun in the areas holding the wind swept snow!
