July 24th.
Bailed on Ringrose today. Good overnight
strengthening down low, but very poor and inconsistent conditions in upper
gullies on Ringrose S ridge. Some icy crusts, some good step kicking on open
deep snowpack areas and really weak and wet isothermal snow in the gullies
with water running underneath just to make it really spooky. Give it a clear
night and it will be awesome but 30+mm of rain in 36 hrs does add up.
Biddle and Hungabee still have a ways to go.
Glacier and Lefroy still mostly snow. Cathedral, Wenkchemna-Opabin, Odoray all
starting to get icy and crampons will be handy soon.
Tarrant Buttress and Greenwood Jones on
Temple looking climbable.
