Widespread wind slab, cracking observed when skinning and skiing. Compression test failed on 2 at ~15cms. ECT did not propagate across the full column but did propagate ~60cm across. We turned back before the col at the top of the armchair glacier due to poor visibility and stability concerns, another party reported long (~10m) shooting cracks close to the col.
