Lots of whumpfing in sheltered locations at TL. I suspect they were from the buried SH layer. Everything was wind-hammered in the ALP.

Numerous avy obs. on all aspects along route; majority off Muhigan & Indian Pks. on our way up to Indian Pass up to sz. 2.5. All appeared to be windslab from our last avy cycle. Lots of whumpfing but no recent avy activity along the route.
