Quick report

Beautiful sunny day up at Paradise! Cold temps mostly kept the sun effect at bay up on the Muir Snowfield. A breakable crust developed by the afternoon on solar aspects from Panorama Point down to Paradise.

Avalanche

Observed the crown of a large, deep avalanche looking west from below Panorama Point. I believe the crown was beneath either the Success Divide or Wapowety Cleaver. Photo included.
