Guided Mt Huber today (Aug 15) up and down the
Huber Ledges. Clear night and blue sky day made for great conditions. Still
a lot of snow up high from last weeks storms (Hungabee and Biddle are pretty
white) but the Huber Ledges are dry. The storm snow has repaired the final
ice face providing 20cm of supportive snow over the ice allowing for good
steps with ice screw anchors (you have to dig down for the ice
though). The bergshrund is also in good shape providing several options on the
left side for crossing. Some breakable crust (2cm melt-freeze crust over 20-30cm
of storm snow) on the glacier making for punchy trail breaking.
