Traveled to Wright Mt. via Snow Lake. Wind transported snow pockets in gullies approaching Gem Lake from Snow Lake and on the east ridge of Wright over rain crust. Performing hand shear tests on the approach the pockets where not forming slabs and blocks were breaking irregularly. No shooting cracks. Crust was mostly creating sluffs on steep sections.
