North faces of Fay and Quadra are snowy from
glacier to ridge and cornices don't look too huge from a distance. Perren
approach looks damp but climbable.
Temple looks pretty snowy above 3000m's on the
tourist route.
Great conditions today with a good freeze overnight
on Wenkchemna pass and Opabin pass.
Regular routes on Odaray, Lefroy,
Cathedral, Ringrose and Glacier peak look good with a good freeze. Grassi
Ridge and Watchtower are dry.
Odaray Tarrant Buttress, Hungabee and Biddle are
still way too snowy to be reasonable.
No signs of recent snow anywhere and it was raining
to at least 3000m's in the afternoon at OHara today.
