Our group of 3 was spread out climbing the fingers. lots of natural activity evidence if large pin wheels yesterday or overnight and both soft and hard debris. We were headed up the steepest part of the finger and a size 1 or 1.5 natural from a tree bomb above us ran between 2 members of our group. It ran about 200m and at its widest about 10m. The skin track was covered by approximately 1m of heavy wet. Skiing the pencil didn't cause any skier triggered anything. There was evidence it slid yesterday producing heavy chunky debris half way down.
