Climbed to the Colgan Hut via the Perrin Route yesterday, August
27th. There is a new handline on the second rockband, my thump
testing, by hand, and tapping by hammer led me to conclude that the
topmost bolt has been drilled into a loose block and I suspect that
it will pull out at some point, be cautious.
New snow on the crux rockband and it was tricky getting to the chain.
If I had that 10 meters to climb again I would haul my pack once
anchored into the chain.
August 28th, it was snowing and blowing up there. No Mt Fay today, we
climbed Mt Little, and given that it felt like winter Little was more
than enough of a climb. Small wind slabs forming at ridgeline on the
east aspect.
Happy trails
