Climbing Conditions

Just a quick addition to Tim’s update with some photos of a large rockfall event that occurred just above the N. Glacier gear up area. Things are indeed snowy with 50+ cms of HST making for slow travel. There was widespread loose wet activity but only entraining the surface and nothing more than a size one. The rockfall event was certainly notable and extra caution warranted as things adjust. Hard to say if it will get better or worse as things dry up and the normal summer temperatures return.
