and 12 cm screws more useful on the bottom pitches than mid length
screws.
Winds flipping between strong upslope and downslope gusts most of the
day, calmer in the pm. There are new snow slabs aproning the
rockbands and steeper pitches. A slab avalanche ran over the climb
sometime in the last 10 days? hard to tell as the debris is drifted
in, but there are old slab chunks sitting on top of the climb.
Approached in bootsoles.
Happy trails
