Climbed Mt. Victoria from the Abbot Pass hut (Aug. 25), Excellent Cond.
Once
again. Everything well frozen. From the last storm, most of the new snow
has melted away, some verglass in the lower sections, but easy to get
around. At 3300 meters was -3.0 at about 08:00.
Lefroy looked in good shape as well.

The firn line is way up around 8500-9000 ft. Travel is good with ankle
top penetration at most. Some dodging and weaving around exposed
crevasses.
Happy trails

Climbed Silverhorn yesterday with good conditions. Anywhere from 5 to 40
cms of new snow on top of good ice. New snow was hiding several small
holes mid way up route. It was 6 degrees in the parking lot at 4 a.m. and
stayed cool until around 11 when the sun popped out of the clouds. North
face looked to be in good shape with one party on it
