Noted a large glide crack in the large east facing alpine bowl above branch C. I very rarely venture up to the bowl, so I don’t know if that’s a regular occurrence or not. Also had multiple whumphs just below the ridge crest and on the ridge itself. Ski cuts of steep slopes produced no results other than some surface sloughing.
