Climbed the Nose on Mt. Arrowsmith today and descended the Judges route.
Lots of snow from around 1200m on the west side and 1400 on the south side.Good
travelling after a clear night but some interesting moves around drifts,
cornices
and moats on the "Bumps" and the "Nose". Definetely want an axe, gaiters and
crampons. We didn't use the crampons but if we had been up earlier they would
have been needed. Rock pitches on the Nose were mostly snow free.
Roads in really good shape.
