On Friday Aug 17 Joe McKay and I climbed Mt. Ball via the SE glacier ice
tongue. See attached photos. This is an excellent moderate ice route
(AD-/III, a bit of AI3) in great condition. Most of the snow from last
week's storm has melted from the glacier and the rock on all aspects and
elevations on Ball is dry. I put a description on http://bivouac.com
