Cornices and snow aretes along the summit ridge made it "engaging". We triggered a big, wet nasty cornice from the Collier ridge in the midday heat that spewed out onto the Upper Victoria Glacier. Lots of big wet sluffs off the face of Victoria.
Great conditions as long as you handle the early starts and the need to MOVE!!
