Climbed a mix of the west face and the North west ridge yesterday. Good travel 
up the Herdman couloir to base of route with light crampons. Route was mostly 
dry and in good condition, except when it hailed and snowed, we exited to the 
west ridge 200ft from the summit due to electricity. Descent down the Herdman 
was in good condition and we did not use crampons on the descent. We also 
traversed over to the main Herdman couloir which was more effort that it was 
worth( tricky climbing on moist slabs). All in all a great day out.
Cheers
Todd Craig, MG
