Comments
Stable conditions with some warming trend during the day, freezing level climbed to about 1000m today. This report is more to warn about very tough going through the elephant trunk. Bring at least your ice axe and maybe crampons if you want to get through there to access Bonney moraines area. Size 4 gauged 4m deep iced over channel through creek bed near elephant trunk.
