Observations
Saw the hanging glacier above White Salmon glacier calve today around 1pm. Impressive reminder to stay climbers right of the protective knob down valley from the glacier, especially during warmer temps.
Lots of evidence of recent smaller activity over the past warm wet storm cycle (multiple D2, varying aspects). Strong winds from the southwest could be seen up high and a small wind slab was set off by another group below Winnies Slide. (D1, maybe 6in x<100ft crown, no one caught).
