Padgett Pk Slide path

Avalanche
Slab triggered when skinning up rib feature between slide paths 1 & 2 on Padgett peak. Transitioning from wind scoured solar crust to wind loaded Gully. Small isolated slab propagated quite wide via faceted rocky outcrops on icey solar crust and slid slowly. Fortunately angle was low and area was minimal. Solar crusts vary from thin and punchy to very hard near boot impenetrable.
