A good reminder to watch for shallow triggers. I was not there, just contacted by a friend after triggering. Looked like the classic wind affected, shallow crater lake snowpack triggered on a shallow group of rocks. Likely windslab, or perhaps a persistent layer. Stay sharp. Having trouble with photo upload.
