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
