Hello,
 
Climbed the route today with Yamnuska's Ice Evolution. The first pitch is quite thin and also delaminated in a few spots. The first good gear that I found was about 10 feet from the top of the pitch....harder than usual. Also of note, below the final pitch there was a slab (30-40cm) formed from the sluff's coming off the rocks, this was sitting on facets and depth hoar and gave clean easy shears. Something to think about if you are heading up to the climbs above or into terrain with bigger consequences.
 
Enjoy!
