Nov 5th Crust was down at 120cm on the moraine. No signs of instability, most of the moraine is a soft windslabs. Significant wind loading (on the moraine and top of Bonney), with moderate to strong winds coming from the SE. There were a few creek crossings with water at ankle level, some water skiing and twigs bashing. The elephant trunk was not as heinous as expected, but still pretty sketchy.
