Observations
Cornices above, chose a line without any, triggered a very slow wind loaded slough that moved over the tracks after I had already descended. Line over was the same thing. Rode very conservatively after partner set off the first slide riding a little more aggressively . Just to the right of the pole creek couloirs.
