Climbed Cathedral today. Reached new snow line at 2700m. Easy travel without crampons on glacier, foot penetration: 10 to 15 cm on new wind pressed snow over ice at 2700- 2900m. 20 cm to knee deep on the ridge at 3000m - some drifting. Huber Ledges are looking wet and snowy. Nothing more than small point avalanches observed on steep slopes. The new snow is staying dry with no sign of melting above 2800m on north facing slopes.
