[MCR] Mt. Lefroy

 

Hiked up to Abbott Pass yesterday and climbed Lefroy this morning. 

 

Good step kicking entire way except for 3 spots in the upper third of the face which required front pointing.  These sections were all less than 2 body lengths. 

 

Minimal freeze last night made the last 200 metres before the hut a bit sloppy on the descent  (around 830).  Summit ridge has two or three large, sagging cornices still hanging on.

 

Victoria looked like it had quite a bit of snow on the ridge from the first summit to the main summit. 

 

Cheers
