Avalanche Conditions

avalancheConditionTemp

Ice quality was terrible, with most screws inspiring very little confidence. The ice was more like vertical snow and even digging deep didn’t yield better quality. It feels like the warmth has penetrated deep into the ice, causing most ice to be foamy and insubstantial. The whole wall seemed to be in the same condition or worse and rapidly deteriorating.

Extensive wet loose activity, some going on the ground. We saw old avalanches that had run from ridgeline all the down to below tree line.
