made for some slick spots on smooth quartzite sections and verglas anywhere
water was dripping or flowing. Upper Huber Glacier had up to boot top foot
pen with the occasional just over boot top pocket. We did find pockets
of 1F- soft slab around 18cm thick with smooth easy to moderate hand shears
both 8cm and 18cm down from the surface on the upper Huber glacier.
Good cramponing in gullies up to ridge on Victoria with a small avalanche
deposit allowing crossing of the schrund. Ridge on Victoria from Huber
connector to summit still in good cramponing condition. On the way down
Upper Huber glacier was still mostly dry snow. Snow on the lower section
of glacier was moist. Ledges below the glacier had dried off for our
decent in the mid afternoon.
