Up the right side of the Weeping Wall yesterday April 2. While sun affected the wall is in good shape and the ice still provides solid screw placements. Lots of evidence of icefall from sunny periods so not a place to be on a warm sunny day. Snowing most of the day with fluctuating temperatures at highway level; not much accumulation there however a couple of hundred meters higher it is a different story with up to 20cm of new snow. Biggest accumulations were at Bow Summit with an estimate of 30cm new as of 5pm yesterday. We did not observe any avalanches. Driving was quite greasy at times.
Stay safe…
