Climbed South Ridge of Victoria today and down Huber ledges. +5 with Moderate S winds at the hut 5 a.m. New snow has almost all melted off, Sickle crevaces easily outflanked to the skiers right over a still good bridge then down climbing made easier by softer ice. Huber descent devoid of snow, rappelled over the schrund on a v-thread skiers left of the rock fall debris from the upper gully. Small overhanging lip on the schrund and good bridge for stepping out to the glacier were no problem. Looks like a good bridge further climbers right has been used for ascents. Happy trails,
