100m of crotch deep wading up suddenly isothermal snow on a 40 degree slope,
which made life moderately terrifying for about 10 minutes.
We summitted at 8am and thought we were early enough, but an hour earlier would
have been nice. Near perfect snow to that point, but the upper slopes had been
getting sun for longer, a bit more east facing, steeper, all made for near
light-speed changing snow conditions after a warm night with only a radiation
freeze.
Keep your head up and your feet on the ground.
