Wind loaded couloir between Lundin and Lundin East (S exposed). We were cautiously going up performing hand sheer tests to see stability. Started noticing wind loaded snow at the bottom of couloir, but not reactive and not forming cohesive blocks. Decided to turn aroud 200ft from col when we saw a shooting crack (~1foot long).
