Climbed the SE ridge of Victoria and descended down the Huber ledges yesterday (September 13). There was about 10 to 15 cm of new snow, and some verglass on the lower part of the route. Climbed 95 % of the mountain in crampons. In wind loaded areas there is up to 30 cm , but I did not observe any wind slab. Descend down Huber Ledges, the SW face was in excellent shape, had anywhere from 10 to 20 cm on the ice. Lots of sluffing occurred in the storm. The schrun was easy to cross.
Temps at the hut at 0430 was –5.
