Went up Willow Fork to Willow Knob. Found cracking and collapsing at mid elevation W facing slopes. In the same area hand shears were failing with easy force as well as multiple failing on isolation down 40 cm. Noted widespread SH (4-5mm) on the mid elevation W aspects. A WSW pit @ 9330' produced CTV (SC) and CTM 11 (SC) both down 40 cm on F+ facets. Winds picked up from the NW after 1200.
