Comments

We climbed in King's creek. We brought avi gear and carefully crossed the avi paths on the approach by going one at a time on the way in and out. There was about 20cm of new snow on the canyon floor. The sun seemed to hit the slopes above at around 10am. Nothing slid, and the snow seemed to stick really well to the canyon walls with not much sloughing noticed. All the ice climbs were in, with protection easy to find.
