Comments
North face of Red Baldy had signs of wind loading along the ridgeline. We knocked down multiple cornices to test the slope stability without any results. Prior to dropping in I did a high ski cut just below the ridge as another precaution. A small slab of wind deposited snow slid. Glad we didn't just point and go. I apologize the pictures are not that great.
