Just a real quick note:
Mike Stuart and I headed up to Yam to climb a route in the Forbidden Corner area yesterday, decided not to give it a miss due to the snow still capping the scree on the top of the route. Concerned mostly about rockfall potential, as well as curious about the state of the walk off down the back and how dry it would be. Went and did Devil’s Right Hand instead, down in The Bowl Area.
A quick look around from the top station on the route and looked as though the backside was almost totally dry now. Much more so than expected. Just throwing it out there for those wondering about the walk off down the east end. Looks pretty well good to go!
Have fun out there!
