Guided Coire Dubh Integral today, March 13. The route is in good shape with the ice hanging in there. A little bit of sun affect and rotting on the first pitch, then it is big and blue with enough new wind drifted snow to kick steps up the less steep parts (thank you last weekend's storm). The crux rock pitch was a little spicier today with new snow masking the left side of the crack. There is good step kicking and climbing up the rest of the route to ridgeline.
