Guided route yesterday with one guest.  First pitch still similar to Jessie's description.  A few more warm sunny days and its going to come down.  Serious lead.  The rest of the route is in fine shape with soft ice and good gear.  A good idea to check existing pitons on fixed anchors as some needed to be reset.  Again sun was very strong - I wouldn't want to be on it in the afternoon.  Use caution in picking a line down the descent once done with the raps as the snow was changing rapidly.
 
Cheers
