[MCR] O'Hara Mt Huber. July 16th 2011

Climbed Mt. Huber today. Generally excellent spring conditions. Huber ledges still has some snow but  the main issue was damp rock on the one 5th class pitch and verglas in a few places. Glacier is in great shape. LOTS of snow on the glacier, crossed the rockband between the two glaciers entirely on snow and ice. Good step kicking on the NE face. and still lots of snow on the North face.
 
Decent overnight freeze but still some breakable crust down low. Mt. Victoria descent onto the Huber glacier looked great-lots of options with contiguous snow. 
 
Good visibility today and no avalanche fracture lines visible in the area.
