Observations

Wind has scoured multiple aspects, but recent collapsing and cracking present elsewhere in the East Central is absent below 5500'. There is a shallower, layered structure throughout the lower Icicle, with sometimes deep bands of facets below the Valentine's crust. Stout crusts and sometimes slide for life conditions exist in much of the wind scoured BTL along mountaineer creek.
