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.
