Overall great day out. On our way up there was only one small sloughing event to climbers right, prior to bootpacking there was no wind transport observed. After getting back to the bottom the wind and snow had increased and there was more constant sloughing. Two whumps were experience when topping out of the upper bowl to the col in and around rocky sections. There was one area just below the convexity mid way that scraped down to what looked like bare rock as noted in photo 3.
