Climbed Whimper Wall today. I put a track in close to the cliff all the way to
the ice. The mid- pack is quite strong and supported my weight . I dug down
and had a hard shear on the first slope, that went down from the Weeping Wall
Right. I felt good with the track that I set. There was one other party that
came with snow shoes and caught up to us at the start of the ice. At the
beginning they wanted to contour around below my track, but felt a huge whoomp
(slope settlement). They decided to go right up to our track. The track is
nicely paved and the ice was in great shape.
Happy Climbing,
Marco Delesalle
