Comments
After looking for any partys below my Partner and I were trying to tip toe the ridge line into B&H but remote triggered a small cornice to then collapse the days draw entry with a small wind slab. No step down noted. We announced verbally to anyone below and called out via radio as we heard another group on our channel earlier that day. Soft slab did seem to run full track.
