Comments
Waist deep wallowing at the bottom and in the top half of the center Practice Gully on Andromeda. Glacier snow coverage was good on approach. Route had a mix of the most bulletproof ice with waist deep snow overtop; I was very surprised that nothing cut out on our trip up to within a couple of pitches of the top, where we bailed due to time of day.
