Quick report
After an early morning ascent of a frozen south face, we returned for our exit at 14:00 to find highly sensitive surface slabs. We easily triggered several small slides that entrained significant volume, running 400 vertical feet to the valley floor. The resulting debris piles were substantial enough to completely bury our original skin track.
