Quick Observation
Went chickaboom and looped back into chickadee valley to avoid the long walk out of boom. Overall travel was great, quick at valley bottom and an edgeable crust on the steeper sun affected slopes. Some good skiing on the north side of the glacier but some wind slabs had developed on the lower sections. Glacier itself is super filled in with no visible holes and 3m+ probed at the top. Still lots of evidence of activity in the most recent warm up with some slabs as well as numerous loose wets out of all aspects/elevations. Some recent wind slab debris was visible on some of the moraines on Whymper. Just another great day in the mountains
