The route took a bit if a beating during the warm spell but was still very
climbable with a bit of cleaning. Very little snow (0-5cm) on the
approach and immediately above the route when we did it but this may have
changed. Most routes in the bowl above seemed to be in pretty good shape
but I am not sure how much new snow has fallen since I was there.
Lacy Gibbet, January 2nd
No snow on the approach and all but the last pitch are in great shape.
Last pitch is very wet and rotten but should be in great shape if (when)
things cool down a little.
Both of these routes are in sun traps and deteriorate very fast in the
heat of the day.
Cheers,
