Comments

Climbed Jacob's Ladder today, deep snow on the approach breaking through a surface layer of crust down into deeper powder.

Continuous spindrift coming down from the top of the final pitch all day.

Cracks heard multiple times on each pitch, likely due to temperature change and pillars releasing tension.
