Notes
From an email:
"Hit a small, unstable pocket while hiking in Hyalite today. We were traversing under the cliff band between Dielectric Breakdown over to Alex's Solo 1. The layer broke at a boundary between older snow and recently wind-transported
slab
. No consequences his time, but it is a great reminder of how quickly conditions can change when you're hiking. In the wrong terrain, a
slide
like this could be really bad."
