[MCR] Mts. Victoria and Lefroy

Spent the weekend at Abbott Pass.  Hiked up Friday with rain to 2900m. 

 

Explored Victoria Saturday morning with no intention of getting very far, and we didn't.  Turned around before the ridge due to a growing windslab that we didn't want to mess with. 

 

The weather settled briefly (stayed cold and calm, -9 @ 3:30) early Sunday morning and we managed to get up Lefroy.  Snow on the West face varied between boot top and mid thigh.  Everything was incredibly rimed up, very Scottish. 

 

As we left the hut the wind was back and it was snowing again.  The snow level was down to Lake Oesa Sunday morning.  We were glad to leave the high mountains...

 

Take care and be safe.

 

Cheers
