Quick Observation
Skinned up attempting to summit youngs peak. Skinning near glaciers crest in the subalpine and below the surface hoar was still obviously present as a weak layer. We heard several heavy whumphs with cracks running out. I would avoid convexs as they seemed the most reactive. Visible all around where natural breaks of slabs on the persistent layer gave out especially on convenes
