Hello
Driving by Field today and noticed a recent slab
that avalanched on the approach to Pilsner Pillar. It was a
size 1.5 and would have been nasty as it went down through the
trees. I couldn't see any tracks from climbers (possibly animal
triggered??) and it was on a bit of a steeper roll (left side, halfway between
the top of the trees and the base of the route). It looked like the
crown was quite deep (60-90cms) and it slid sometime in the last 48
hours. The slopes above the route looked quite loaded.
Take care out there..
