most places. The initial and final pitches are in normal WI2 shape but
a but thin to protect.
There are a few mixed steps in the middle of the climb that are short,
but hard to protect and a bit tricky. There was zero snow at the start
or the finnish of the climb.
The final pitch on Cascade was falling apart as we walked past it on
the way down. I would leave this climb alone until it cools off and
fattens up.
