Comments

Boundary traverse south to north on the 7th. Winds were howling in the morning for a few hours transporting old facets and shale. Solar slopes were either rock hard or breakable melt freeze crust up to high point of ~2750m. Coverage on both glaciers was was variable but probed around 180cms often. North side of the high col everything was pretty much bullet proof above tree line. Some almost mediocre turns down to boundary lake.
