first pitch is now a bit thicker from Jorg's last report, however there
is a layer of snice (snow/ice) coating it. No problem for ice screws
after a bit of digging. All of the following pitches are in great
shape.
The bolted rappels on the climbers left has ice under it the whole way,
which made pulling the ropes much easier. I don't seem to recall it
being there on previous years?
Perfect temps, -7 in the shade, balmy in the sun!
