| Yesterday June 7th I climbed Mt Tupper via the South Couloir and the East Ridge, then descended by the West Ridge and the Lone Pine slide path. Snow all the way down to the snowshed and a good freeze made for excellent travel up to the col. The rock was mostly dry with a few snow patches on the East ridge, and all the cruxes on the West Ridge were dry. The upper part of the Lone Pine slide path is melting out fast, but currently only a few patches of scree/mud to cross.
