Fine day on Mt Huber NE face today. Huber ledges are dry and there was a good
freeze on the glacier and the face. Average 0-50 cm snow on the NE face so the
snow wont last long with these temps and the forecast. N face is basically bare
ice.
Mt Victoria SE ridge looks mainly dry. Lefroy W face looks awful. Glacier via
the Ringrose couloir start looks ok. Hungabee has been climbed and the face is
getting dry so that afternoon rockfall should be calming down soon. Odaray SE
ridge and Tarrant/Mprrison buttress look good. Cathedral is icy but very
climbable.
As you have probably heard, conditions seem to be about 3 weeks ahead of
schedule. Rockfalls from the edge of the retreating ice may have begun or be
starting soon.
Enjoy the bits of snow while they last!
