Comments

Climbed in Valley of the Birds for an avy hazard free day.

All routes in VotB are in good shape except the Eagle which while fat has a 4 inch crack near the base that runs the entire length of the pillar.

Access to North Ghost is not bad, wind drifting of snow on the valley bottom is the main concern. Ice shelves aren't an issue for vehicles with good clearance.
