ridge of the majestic Eagle on the 18th--This is a great moderate outing,
with a just a little trickiness in between the two and a low choss factor.
It gets a rating of 48.6 on the Wolfe Training Day Quality Scale.
Yesterday (19th) we messed around on the Illysilly/N Terminal/Vaux, etc.
Great travel conditions, excellent crevasse bridges overall. Minimal
softening/boot pen but enough, at about 12:00 pm, to make for secure footing
on the steeper (30+ deg) due-South-facing snow slopes up N terminal,
2700-3000 m. Bridges on this slope and the Vaux (2 pm) were softening but
still passable with care. This got a 71.2 on the WTDQS.
Great overnight freezes, great weather, great climbing.
Regards,
Tom Wolfe
