Tip toed into Camp West proper given lack of viz - during ski cut the upper soft slab released what seemed to be most of the entrance in terms of width. Roughly 30cm deep but quite wide - slid on the previous interface / crust / wind slab. Didn’t have a lot of mass nor was it very fast initially - no involvement. Surprised to see the debris pile end at 1700m. Sporty exit !!
