During a crevasse rescue course on Kathlyn Glacier, we observed the snow
line at 1750 m. Travel is good on firm snow above even in the afternoon.
Some large cornices remain on the approach to the South summit. Those
are very hard to see when climbing that peak from the Smithers ski hill
and require a determined descent of 20 m just before the final scramble.
The bergschrunds are now wide open throughout.
