Obs from the Throne

We skinned up the east face of the Throne and dug at the top of the east face (8100 ft, east aspect) and again on the north facing slope at top of the throne itself (8300 ft, north aspect). Snow depth of ~7 ft on the east face and ~4 on the north. ECTX in both pits. No cracking, collapsing, or other signs of instability. No avalanches observed. Little wind effect in the new snow. South aspects starting to get a surface crust, no crust on east or north.
