Problem #1 Comments
We were up in hobble creek today, checking out the situation after this past week's warmup. We observed several destructive wet slab avalanches. As well as a surprisingly large avalanche triggered by what appeared to be a very small cornice fall. Finally ,we observed a fairly large glide crack, near the top of a large slab of rock that exists on the northeast shoulder on east Provo peak. See attached photos.
