Elevation:

Aspect: 
Northeast
Slope Angle:

Comments: 

Duing the approach, we had collapsing on most of the low elevation and low angle aspects that we skinned across.  On the north aspects, we also experienced cracks shooting ~20'.

There was a small slide on the upper portion of Murdock that had slid on a steep rollover between groups of trees.  This slide was 45cm deep and slide on the sun crust beneath the 23Dec snow.  It looked like this probably slid during the 30Dec storm.
