Cornice tunnelling achievement unlocked - Wendy Thomson
Summer has started and the itch for snow hit me hard! Reminiscing about last season and going through trip pictures. This was from a March trip to the Wendy Thomson hut. Big system rolled through a few days before, had time to settle for a few days, and we were the first ones in after! Spent three days with an untouched playground in every direction.

Awesome picture! I’m always amazed by how far cornices can overhang the slope below. How far out is the overhang in this photo?

Thanks! This one wasn't overhanging too far, maybe a meter or a bit more, but it was just as thick! Sent a chunk tumbling down about the size of a small car and nothing reacted, so we called it super good enough.
