Robertson glacier was mostly wind slab. Good over night freeze. Crust soften up below 2200m and was quite sticky at 3 pm. The avalanche debris was easy to go through. There was a size 1.5 storm slab/ size 1 wet loose cycle from 930 to 11:30am out of extreme terrian on east aspects above the approach slopes before the wind picked up. Some cornice drops pulled some small slabs but didn't entrain mass. South aspects had a few size 1 wet loose before the wind picked up. Protected south aspects had lots of pin wheeling.
