Comments

Good climbing on Hydrophobia with a packed trail on approach. Significant amounts of new snow resulted in continuous spindrift throughout the day.

One incident of major sloughing off the top of that climb that dumped enough snow on both of us at a belay to completely white out everything and fill our jackets and hoods with heavy snow.
