We had a nice pleasant day on Brewer's with nothing unusual to report and
all the bolted station on route in good shape. Nothing more to report since
Jorg's informative post except for the fact that since the temperatures have
been seasonal lately the water supply in the gulley was getting pretty
scarce. We had to do some mining to get enough flow to fill our water
bottles. Since the forecast is for scorching temperatures I would think that
the remaining snow blobs may not last much longer and the water supply may
soon go dry.
I met a few folks who did not know about the new rappel stations on the
climber's right hand side of the descent gulley. Since the TABVAR site seems
to have some big issues these days it is a good idea if you also get the
descent beta from someone before you head off. That way you can avoid the
old rappels on tat and simply rappel off the bolted stations.
