Hello,
Carl Johnston and I climbed twisted today. Hand shears on the approach gave a clean shear down about 10cm, a wind skin above the previous wind slab, and a broken shear down about 30cm in the facets. The two aproach gullies that must be crossed to get to the base of the route had slid previously. We climbed the direct first pitch which was thin as usual but did take the occasional short screw. The belay at the top of the first pitch still needs a #2 camalot and a 0.5-0.75 piece to back up the single self drive bolt. The second pitch is in good shape with a bit of a hollow section at 2/3's height. Final pitch is fat.
A great day for climbing!
