Observations
Traveled via Lower International to the terrain just outside Nash gate. Sun breaks in AM gave way to gray skies and flat light on the descent. Windy up high with lots of wind features and a few softer wind slabs in the rolling terrain above Nash/Snake Dance, but saw no signs of instability on our climb or descent besides the Rock Face crown. Still plenty of big rocks and trees poking up but things are filling in nicely up high!
