Rode a NW aspect off Lightning Strike and a NE aspect on the ridge north of Muffin Top. No new signs of instability on NE to NW aspects or significant sluffing. One old windslab/cornice slide observed on a NE aspect 2000m. Significant pinwheels observed on S aspects especially near cliff bands. Strong warming trend and solar radiation throughout the day.
