Comments
Ascending normal skin track up George’s Bowl. Nearing low point on ridge. Experienced 2 separate collapses with shooting cracks. Noticeable crust under 4” of new on top of the known facets. Crust was not observed in wind protected areas used for majority of ascent, only once in open, non-trees terrain near ridge.
