Just came out from Fryatt Valley. River crossing necessitated canoe and trail
runners were worn all the way to Lower Fryatt campground.
After Lower Fryatt campground and on approach to headwall NUMEROUS large solar
triggered avalanches seen coming off peaks. Whumping and shooting cracks that
propagated widely on both flat and very low angle terrain on approach to the
hut confirmed SPAW warnings and we chose very conservative terrain in which to
tour on our next day avoiding any and all overhead or slope hazard.
Temps daytime went up to 15 degrees and did not freeze overnight. Sunny and
bluebird. Ski out was early and uneventful.
