Forwarded from Tay Hanson:
You can now get past the avalanche debris to the parking lot (thanks to industrious shovellers).
You do encounter snow around the 2000m mark (below the hut), but travel on the glaciers is easy and a lot of objectives are in.
Anything steep or south facing is mostly dry (with snow on ledges), Kain and Pigeon are snowy but Kain has been done.
Howsers are still pretty wintery but other than that you can climb more routes than not, and probably just encounter snow on the summits.
In summary, its goldanged beautiful up there with hardly anyone around!
Let it begin.
