True, towards noon (around ten at the top) it was quite a bit softer than one would wish. Can't imagine how it was for the one who was lying there at one o'clock.
Just below the gully summit a thin frozen layer gave false sense of security - below hid quite unprocessed powder, so I dug such deep steps.

-Descend and hope for the best?

Searching for the logbook on Mali Goličica was a unique challenge, sadly it was soaked.
