Climbed Victoria from Abbott's and down Huber today. Victoria S ridge is in good shape but still some icy ridge to negotiate near the summit. Huber glacier descent was in the best august condition I have seen for years.
 
Lefroy and Hungabee look nasty right now. One has too little snow and one has too much. I bet you can figure that one out. Everything else is in good shape but the warm days are definetly disturbing the balance in the stacked rocks. Start early and beware the sun effect.
