We toured up the west side of Arrowhead. We saw no issues of instability until we reached 5200’ at which point we started seeing short but frequent shooting cracks around our skin track. The cracks allowed small 20cm thick slabs to move. We turned around at this point before entering the steeper and more open terrain above 5200’.
