Quick report

Climbed up the Rustler ridge from the saddle in strong 20-40mph winds from the W/SW. Lots of banners coming off of ridgelines. Skied the main gully down from Humphreys Ridge into the Inner Basin at 0930. Did not encounter any windslab during descent. It was mostly supportable crust or thick powder to breakable crust on the way down. There was definitely a lot of snow moving around today in the wind. Climbed back to saddle by 1100. Snow remained cold in that wind. No rollerballs or other signs of warming during the skin out.
