Observations
Went up part of the PCT and cut over to the SW face of the knob up the ridge-line and down through the Kendall Trees. Signs of one avalanche on the SW facing side near the ridge-line, and slight wind loaded crust on the exposed areas of the ridge-line facing S/SE. Snow conditions were wet and heavy, but firmness was inconsistent all the way up in forrested areas varying between ice and soft slush.
