[MCR] Mount Victoria Traverse

Traversed Mt. Victoria from North to South today via the Plain of Six Glacier and down the Huber Ledges.
 
Snow on the Plain of Six Glacier still provides good crevasse coverage and fast travel.  Rock band above glacier is still mostly snow covered and soft enough at 8am to not require crampons.  On the Huber glacier, snow was isothermal in spots in the p.m., and the bergshrund is now open but easily passable.  Ridge of Victoria itself is dry north of the main summit.
