From text: "went up to Champagne Sherbet to ice climb but then there was a big fracture on the approach! Got to a safe spot and dug to see - a strange drifted wind slab over the old belay area has created a scary snow cave trap! We bailed out of there..."
From IG message: "Another one today. Back of buck creek. Triggered 100 yards above where I crossed below it in the safe zone, after I went by. No burials."

There were numerous debris piles, point releases, and crowns on the north face of Elephant and the northeast face of Blackmore this morning. Most of them appeared to have run during the storm (1/27) and had been covered by at least 6 inches of new snow.
