Comments
Weak overnight recovery. Fast travel up Noseeum Cr and the south facing couloir onto the plateau below Andromache. Lots of goat tracks up there. Low valley cloud but clear skies above in the morning. At around 1030 clouds started to build and move in. We roped up on the lower section of the Andromache glacier and probed variable depths between 110 and 260cm, the tongue of the glacier is scoured and there is some exposed ice. We encountered some thin wind slab building in the middle of the slope that was reactive but did not want to propagate (yet). Skiing was ok with a couple nice turns up high but we had limited vis. Exited through the slot canyon couloir feature. Lower elevation features where warming up and becoming isothermic when we left at 1230.
