snow/ice is starting to get patchy, and there is some walking on scree to
connect snow/ice strips.
Continuous rockfall on the Andromeda Strain, starting at 06:45, about an hour
after the sun hit the ridge.
Descent via the ramp route. The recent snowfall was just starting to stick to
crampons at 11:00. Feeling pretty steep down the ramp, but OK with one
client. Not a place to be later in the day.
Good travel all day with the remnants of that cold front keeping it cool until
we got low on the north glacier.
One group turned around in the early hours, had the peak to ourselves on a
spectacular day!
