Quick report

Cracking
specific

Lots of 4-8ft crowns from recent slides throughout Wilson glacier ridges, headwall, thumb, finger. Some areas that haven’t slid looked very loaded and “hanging on) We encountered at 10,700ft in Fuhrer Finger several small width glide cracks that went very deep, one spanned the whole width of the couloir. We bailed.
