Unstable Cornices
8th April 2015
Another fine day with dry sunny conditions. Cornices are still present on North through to South-East aspects and with these warm conditions they are sagging, unstable and prone to collapse affecting the slopes below. They often travel along way down the slopes, even easy angled slopes, caution is required when planning routes near or underneath them.
