Climbed Deltaform's W Ridge yesterday.
The route is as dry as I've seen it in the four times I've been up there. There
is one spot of snow for water at the 3000 m bivy and it won't last more than a
few more days. There is lots of snow at the Neptuak-Deltaform col bivy.
The Supercouloir is about 80% dirt or bedrock at the moment.
Snow and ice is disappearing at an extremely rapid rate at all elevations right
now.
2 parties on Deltaform and one on Neptuak, it's turning into a busy place up
there.
The rap anchors are as manky as ever.
