Some photos for anyone heading into the Asulkan area in the next while.
Youngs Peak was in excellent condition yesterday. In general very good travel on supportive snow and still really good coverage on the glaciers. Most of the rock appears dry enough to do all the peaks in the area. Watch for large cornices on Jupiter (Castor, Leda, Pollux).
Sir Donald looks like it should be good as well with snow on the approach and on the Bypass Route as well as some snow patches on the rappel route. The NW ridge appeared dry or at least snow free. Tupper is also dry except for snow on the approach.
