Avalanche

We triggered a small loose wet Avalanche near tree line up on Hanhs peak yesterday. It was about 2-3 inches of snow on a slightly greater than 35 degree slope. The snow warmed up very rapidly (powder and crusty on the hike up, wet sticky slush on the way down). We triggered it from above and no one was caught in it. Aspect: SW Elevation: Near treeline
