Comments

Difficult vis conditions on the spearhead glacier. From Guide Notch down to the flats was hard navigating through the crevasses in near whiteout. 6-8 cm new snow and snowing about 1cm/hr. Mod - strong wind from the east. Old tracks still visible in husume with minor wind loading at the entrance. Hs170 on spearhead glacier flats.
