Was up on the Trophy Wall again today with fellow guide Kris Irwin. Before leaving we replaced the old/rusty bolt anchor and the top of Postcriptum (2 stainless bolts with hangers and rings in vertical orientation). The ice was in great shape and the rest of the route appears to be the same.
Caution: We were chased away by falling ice today. There is a lot of fragile ice on the wall that just needs a strong wind to set it free. It seems to be coming from Replicant and Terminator  but there was little shelter to be found anywhere above the alcove. These same winds are also moving a lot of snow.
