Guided Rogans with a party of two today. Perfect conditions climbing plastic ice all day. At the first narrow section, 30 meters off the ground, the ice is melting out fast and a 5 meter chunk will likely become scratchy dry tooling on a slab within a few days. The rest of the route is holding up great, good ice in the narrows and last tier. The route definately deserves 2 more bolted stations to make descents faster and easier. Any good samaritans heading up there could bring a small field saw to take out some spruces that have previously been avalanched onto the trail- it would be a 5 min job.
Happy ice bashin,
