Cracking

We started at 8am, skinned up to Becker peak. Experienced strong gusts of wind and witnessed snow being transported; saw a cornice fall off the ridge. The southernly aspects were mostly ice. We descended towards echo lake and started a couple small wet loose sluffs on the way. We saw isolated cracking in wind blown areas, on north aspects.
