Comments

Neve traverse on Saturday. Widespread wind affect on all aspects after leaving ring Creek however seemed unreactive, did not spot any slab avalanches nor any releases due to the strong solar affect. Glaciers are all well filled in with just one obvious crevasse on the North Pitt which is well bridged. The wind affect made for reasonably fast travel. The barrier has a heavy sun crust, but definitely skiable, can currently ski to within a 5 - 10 min walk on the rubble Creek carpark depending on if you brought rock skis.
