Comments:
Constant sloughing off sun exposed snow covered rocks mid-day with many running over up tracks on a buried rain crust
None reported
Surprised by how much activity there was and how far the new snow sloughed off rock slopes travelled downslope into moderate terrain.. It could be easily avoided but if you were unaware or couldn't see the exposed rocks above your travel path it would have been very dangerous.
