Two climbers triggered a hard slab on the approach to Bourgeau left hand on
November 30. We have seen a few naturals on similar terrain near treeline.
Wind effect has created a hard slab that appears to be failing on FC above
the November rain crust in isolated locations. Beware steep wind effected
gully features, particularly in shallow snowpacks and at treeline or below
elevations where the raincrust is more prevalent.
