Triggered a cornice when the second member approached. No injuries. Sa C, size 1, 10 m large, 120 cm crown. We were following 2 tracks that went throught the cornice. This is a good reminder that tracks are not a sign of stability and that there could still be some hazards even when terrain looks easy.
