Triangle Couloir
Comments
Snow pit dug after ice pitch, in vicinity of bomber anchor but in the snow field. 15 inches deep, weak faceted layer approx 1.5”. ECT resulted in shovel release with light pressure from behind isolation. No other weak layers observed.
Bootpacking approximately half of the open couloir continued to confirm relatively stable snow. Our party had to switch to skinning the remainer of the coulior due to soft snow becoming thigh deep. We continued to test the snowpack to the top and observed no movement or conditions to concern.
