Wind Loading

Normally wouldn't report something as minor as a bit of wind loading near the Provo Canyon climbing. However ,I was surprised to find repeated 3 to 5 square meter by 15cm thick soft slab pockets rip out as I was moving through moderately steep rock and ice terrain, with shooting cracks and pretty good slab connectivity. These refilled throughout the day due to wind loading. I doubt this will be a problem for much of the Provo climbing due to high traffic in the snow, but some of the Upper Falls routes might harbor enough of a pocket to send a climber off when topping out the steep ice if they're not careful. At higher elevations I have to imagine the wind effects were much more significant.
