Hut for the past three days (Aug 9-11). It is presently quite winter-like,
with about 20 cm of new snow, and loaded areas of up to 30 cm.
Quite a lightning show on the night of the 9th. Climbed Bowlen, Little, and
Babel. The new snow and cool temps made for great travel on the glacier and on
the scree. Parties on the north face of Fay today, looked like good conditions.
The new snow has covered over crevasses on the glaciers, and roped travel is
strongly advised. The snow line was down to the top of the Perren Route.
Descended the Perren route today, snow free from the top rappel station down.
