Climbed the Urs Hole today with 17 others(the morning shift). Lots of well 
travelled climbing on "straws" (ice with running water underneath) and walking 
around small to medium sized open pools. A good place to be light on your feet 
and maybe consider being in some kind of roped glacier travel mode if you 
aren't an experienced ice water swimmer.

The sections in, around and under the chunks of glaciated avalanche debris are 
the cruxes and the highlights. Bring a headlamp and get there before it snows a 
bunch.
