The trail:
Quite good having followed 3 climbers but much better on the way out. Judging by the number of vehicles in the Evan Thomas Parking at 15:00 the trail compaction likely extends also to the Rehab Wall.
Snowline:
The first 50 meters are quite worn down by travel.
One section just past the 2 bolt anchor is actually stacked blocks. Overall easy climbing but very poor quality ice for protection, don't pull too much and don't swing into a "virgin" ice at the crux.
Past 50m and to the very top, the ice was dry, Likely to become wet, takes good screws is not as fractured with fewer pockets.
Moonlight was thin at first but looked better overall.
Moon light, Snowline and too Low for Zero all received travel today so most of the snow that covered the lines in the morning has been cleared.
