We remote triggered a sz0.5 on a small convexity around 2200m in the alpine. We also saw shooting cracks around the same elevation. There had been no signs of instability below that on our ascent. We decided to turn around there. Snow quality was light and deep but became slightly more cohesive throughout the day. 2 large sluffs came down off the Ogden wall around 3pm.
