No new snow on the
approach, and slippery! Somewhat sun affected throughout the climb, and made
for easy swinging. Temperature was cool all day, no warmer than -3. It was a
little hollow sounding only at the very last bulge, and could see some water
running behind. You can climb around easily to the left. You can see it in the
photo as the grey spot at the very top.
As for the bowl above, there isn't to much snow to speak of as of today. There
was some old debris about 200m above the last pitch, from who knows when?
Also,the first chain anchor on the left has been damaged by
rockfall/avalanches. You can belay easily on the ice just to the right.
