cm of recent snow has made travel on the ice pleasant. Cloudy conditions
with frequent brief thundershowers persisted during our visit. Overnight
freezes and excellent travel & bridging on the glaciers. We climbed Mt
McArthur from the north, which (briefly) requires crampons on ice to 50
degrees if you wish to avoid the heinous rock. If you get it quick we
chopped 40 deep steps for the climbing pleasure of the army cadets! :)
The glacier below the Presidents appears to be in good condition with
good steps in the new snow.
Regards,
Tom Wolfe
