Hi,
Climbed the West Ridge of Pigeon on Sunday with 2 guests. Encountered some snow after the first summit which could be passed to the right with care (this should melt off pretty quick with some warm weather). Lots of snow on north side below final summit requiring step kicking and cutting. An ice lens on the slab on the 2nd rap needs to be treated with caution as to not dis-lodge it onto people below.
Travel on the glaciers were good and the rock routes in the Crescent basin were generally dry and good to go.
Cheers,
Steve Blagbrough
