Climbed Mt. Victoria via Huber Ledges and down to Abbot Pass today. Route is in good shape. Temps at O’hara at 5:30 this morning was +11. No freeze on the snow of the Huber Glacier. Travel on the initial part of the glacier was good. After the rock step, foot penetration was knee to hip deep. Crevasse bridges there are weak. On the plateau, snow was firm. The schrund is easy to get across with snow up to the first rock band. Above that, the usual gully is dirty ice and gravel. We avoided it with the rock ribs to the right. After gaining the ridge we did not use crampons to the summit.
