The contractor said the moisture from the vent is rising the 25+ feet, up to the sofit and because of the excellent air flow is causing excessive moisture and frost in the attic. We were having him out to look and see if the baffles they put in two years age were crushed and impeding air movement.

Three are three levels for the moisture to rise up, does this seem plausible?
