Wind-affected NTL and ATL in most areas.
Avalanche
Observed 2 snow climbers nearing the top of Tyndall Glacier, still in the bootpack, trigger an avalanche. Both climbers took the ride on the debris, and neither was fully buried. I observed this happen from the ridge above, about 200 yards from the Corral Couloir. Both snow climbers extracted themselves. I talked with them briefly while they were exiting the drainage. Both were ok but shaken up.
