| Adding to Lilla's post, I climbed the S Ridge of Vic yesterday, July 20. The entire ridge is dry except for the sickle, which was soft enough to kick steps in for the most part although we did use crampons there. Although we had a fair bit of sun it was cold all day, +1 at 4 am and with a max of only +7 during the day.
Lefroy is dirtyish ice in the upper half. Climbable but not terribly inviting.
This morning at Abbott's it was whiteout, strong west wind, +3 and horizontal rain. Beautiful afternoon on Rundle Ridge though! Mark Klassen Mountain Guide |
