Notes
Climbed in the Mummy II area in Hyalite today. West facing ~7,500'. Lots of spindrift coming down onto the climbs in the area and we noticed lots of snow blowing around up high. No snow fell while we were there but our trail in was almost fully filled in and covered with a few inches to a couple feet of wind slab on the way out. Saw a small natural slide that started at the bottom of Cyptorchid. Crown was 10' wide and 8-18" deep, it ran 150' down a very shallow slope and covered the climbers trail.
