Quick report

Collapsing
widespread

Lots of collapsing and whoomphing throughout the climb. Very wind loaded leaving some ares scoured with very thin snow and others covered in 30 + cm of light fluff. HS=160 cm at 7940 ft on NE aspect. ECT failed with propagation on ten taps at 125 cm leaving a clean break. We stuck to low angle slopes.
