Tom,
Unnamed via East Ridge (Aug 7)
Dry to 9200ft. Then becoming snowy on N side of Ridge. Becoming
generally snowy above 9700ft. Pins may be useful if anchors are desired
in the upper section.
Descending the glacier to the right of the ridge... easy. 10 - 15cm of
new snow near top, deposited from the W. Stable and settling,
but not melting. One lower from cliff band, good station. Downclimable
too.
Descent over collier looks tricky and time consuming in present (snowy)
conditions. Downclimbing the ridge would also be unpleasant with the
new snow...
