Ice Climbing - Polar Circus

Snow conditions were:

• Wind affected

The day was:

• Cloudy

40-60cm total snowpack turning the pencil. No real layering in the snowpack. Maybe slight wind slab in some some small features. But mostly just a breakable wind/sun crust over facets and ground. There is some sloughing on the south facing sidewalls and a few sloughs had run in the approach slopes, loose wet on ground.

Climb is in okay shape with a some sun effect. Day was mostly cloudy and around 0 deg on the climb.
