Tom and I had a look at Hungabee today. It still is carrying a lot of snow even
though most other 3300 m peaks in the area are bone dry. The only other peak
that had a significant amount of recent snow on it was Lefroy.
I talked to someone who had climbed Hungabee today and he reported that there
was "a foot of snow" and rockfall starting by midday. We decided against going
up there as that peak holds a lot of hazard even when it is dry.
