Remote triggered the frequent flyer start zone in Little Simpsons while skinning up after we decided to turn around due to wind slab and drum like sounds. Slid on early December crust. Compression test failed at this layer as soon as the block was isolated. Slide propagated out along the start zone and slid all the way to the creek below.
