[MCR] Cathedral/O'Hara

Climbed Cathedral today. Reached new snow line at 2700m. Easy
travel without crampons on glacier, foot penetration: 10 to 15 cm on
new wind pressed snow over ice at 2700- 2900m. 20 cm to knee deep on
the ridge at 3000m - some drifting. Huber Ledges are looking wet and
snowy. Nothing more than small point avalanches observed on steep
slopes. The new snow is staying dry with no sign of melting above
2800m on north facing slopes.
