Climbed the route today (Dec 21), and is in great shape, (as previously reported by Mike and Rob) up until the last pitch.

Pitch 7: No change in the difficulty of climbing, but sounded hollow through the thinner bottom end of the pitch. It is also detached from the rock in places. We hooked gently and found good rock pro on either side. A couple of days of solar radiation wont do this pitch any good.

Upper level winds were strong from the west.. Localized winds were sporadic and variable! But gusting strong at times. Broken skies and snowing very lightly on and off all day.
