Notes:
Cloudy skies, cooler temperatures, and light winds kept snow surfaces firm. Everything shows signs of wind effect. Smoother wind-pressed patches are mixed with areas with sastrugi features of various sizes. Large rocky patches have been exposed on ridges and moraine tops. Blown rock and debris litter the slopes. The Redbanks are covered in rime ice. No avalanche concerns were encountered.
