Headed up towards Perley rock via the pillowy treed ribs and gullys underneath where we had huge whumpfs that remoted small avalanches off pillows and steep roles (less than size 0.5) up to 50 metres away numerous times, on both Dec 5 SH dn 30-40 and Nov 20 SH/FC dn 60-75. Whumpfing continued as we got higher, with one full slope settlement on a 28 degree alpine slope.
