Surface Hoar/Facet Mix Near 1350’. Eddies.
~2.5cm breakable subsurface crust. Photo near 1850’.
Observation: Turnagain
Location: Eddies
Standard route up Eddies.
Cold! Calm, clear. Patchy valley fog ~1500’.
Faceting soft snow (10-15cm) above a crust, interspersed with some surface hoar, particularly noticeable near 1350’. Crust became breakable (to a ski pole) near 1650’. Disappeared near 2400’. Ample soft snow above.
Descended the southwest face from the summit. Sluffing. Ascended a heinous uptrack back to 2400’, out to car.
