The line on climber's left between the rock outcrops offered good climbing. The main ice buttress to the right has some pretty big cracks across parts of it, but looks climbable.
I extended a top rope anchor off trees to avoid using ice screw anchors in the aerated iced. Directional ice screws were melting out fast and could be pulled straight out by hand about an hour after they were placed. There wasn't even much direct sun today, with multiple convective snow showers passing through the area.
