Climbed the route today and it is in good condition. We
crossed one small snow patch traversing up to the Black Towers
and there is still a snow band about 50 feet wide with a moat all the way
across the base of the black band. Step kicking though this snow was very
good with firm half foot penetration. There is still a little bit of snow
in the exit gully but it is easily avoided. The summit ridge is starting
to get icy but good travelling. If this heat wave continues, the
crevasses that have to be negotiated could be problematic later in August.
