Comments
Looks thin from the road (it is) but the plastic ice up to pitch 3 and the hero ice on pitch 4 made this one climb very nicely.
Approached via the left side above the gully to avoid the approach ice. Solo'd the mandatory approach ice in the gully. This was very thin in spots.
The bowl above was as free of snow as it can get, I believe. DT Highway is severely lacking snow. No signs of instability or avalanches. The day was calm, cloudy and near zero.
