Climbed the Sorcerer today. There is a good trail beat out down the cutblock and through the forest leading to the drainage. Good ice quality, a bit funky on pitch 3, but hero ice on the final pitch. High winds today created a spindrift firehose at times and is helping to develop a cornice on climber's left overhanging the route. This wind has also created some large, truck eating snowdrifts, but if you choose your driving route carefully it is not a problem. Watch for logging trucks, we encountered two before 7:30am.
