conditions, good travel and crevasse bridging, with reasonable overnight
freezes over the past couple of nights.
We climbed Mt. Des Poilus on July 19, summitted at 11:00 am. Snow was firm
to the top going up, and softening quickly, making for good steps, on the
descent. The bergschrund is in good shape, easily passed on a bridge to
the left. This bridge is quickly getting smaller though, and the schrund
is quite large.
There is a very friendly family of goats in the area, eager for a taste of
anything salty; so mind where you urinate.
Regards,
Tom Wolfe
