Hi all,

I guided an ascent of shades of beauty yesterday April 9th.

Despite the recent warm temperatures the route was in good shape and protection was excellent. There was a fair amount of surface dinner plating due to  the recent shift in temperatures.

The well used approach trail was also in good shape with supportive snow surface in and out.

The route will likely stay in good shape for a while with forecast temperatures.

Happy Spring!
