Northern slope, cut left at 1750m and headed up a steep on 35-40dg to avoid sun exposed slope on the right. Heard a loud whumpf as we were reaching the ridge. Hurried to a safe zone above very quickly. Reached the summit safely but heard another loud whumpf below us on the descent. Decided to take a different line down in the trees that proved to be the best option. On our way down saw evidence of a naturally triggered small slab slide at 1850m with visible crown fracture and zone of deposition below from another small slide.
