Up to Abbots pass for a Victoria attempt Aug 14/15. Point releases to size 2 plus off Lefroy running 500m vertical. Up to 25 cm hst with deeper drifts at 2850m. We bailed on Victoria due to widespread verglas and unconsolidated snow. I expect that sun exposed slopes will come back into shape soon….the north faces are pretty wintery.
